Turkey school shooting leaves at least 16 injured

A former student opened fire at a high school in southeast Turkey on Tuesday, wounding at least 16 people before killing himself, the Associated Press writes.

The 18-year-old attacker, armed with a shotgun, fired randomly at a vocational high school in Siverek, Sanliurfa province, before hiding inside the building. He later killed himself with the same shotgun, Gov. Hasan Sildak said.

A teacher who was among the wounded was in serious condition, NTV television reported.

The motive remains unclear.
