At least 16 people have been injured after an ex-student opened fire at a high school in southeastern Turkey.
The attacker, who was in his late teens, fired indiscriminately with a shotgun before killing himself with the weapon, local governor Hasan Şildak said.
Those injured include 10 students, four teachers, a cafeteria worker, and a police officer, he noted.
The incident happened at around 09:30 local time (06:30 GMT) at the Ahmet Koyuncu Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School in Siverek district, which has since been evacuated.
The wounded were taken to hospital, with five later transferred to other facilities for further treatment.
An investigation into the incident has been launched.
Şildak mentioned that the attacker had no criminal record and that the school was considered safe by police.
One witness recounted that the shooter, described as a young man, entered the school and began firing almost immediately. Witnesses reported chaos as students and teachers screamed and fled in various directions.
One of the injured students, Ömer Furkan Sayar, recounted how he and his peers reacted, stating they initially dropped to the ground before attempting to escape through a window as the shooter approached their classroom.
