Un hombre armado abrió fuego cerca de un instituto de formación profesional y técnica en el distrito de Turgutlu, provincia de Manisa, en el oeste de Turquía, el 22 de septiembre, hiriendo al menos a ocho personas, dos de ellas de gravedad, informaron las autoridades. El sospechoso, un estudiante del centro, fue arrestado tras intentar huir a pie.
Los investigadores señalaron que el sospechoso había tomado una escopeta de la casa de su abuela antes de disparar al azar cerca del recinto escolar. El motivo del ataque sigue bajo investigación y las autoridades no han revelado su identidad por tratarse de un menor de edad.
El tiroteo se produjo un día después de un incidente independiente en la provincia sureña de Şanlıurfa, donde otro adolescente abrió fuego en su antiguo instituto, hiriendo a 16 personas antes de quitarse la vida al ser confrontado por la policía. Los dos incidentes han reavivado la preocupación en Turquía por la seguridad escolar y el acceso a armas de fuego.
