In a country where school shootings are rare, two shootings in 24 hours shook the populace to the core. Terrifying footage from Wednesday in southeastern Turkey shows students fleeing for their lives before panning to the school windows, where students leap from the second story to safety below. In one heart-stopping moment, a terrified student clings to the window pane, afraid to jump, as frantic students crowd behind him.

The eighth-grade shooter brought his father’s police weapons to a middle school in Turkey’s ​Kahramanmaras Province, entered a fifth-grade classroom, and started shooting indiscriminately, killing nine — eight students and one teacher — and wounding 13 others before killing himself. Of the wounded, four are in critical condition.

“An eighth-grade student came ​with 5 weapons and 7 magazines — which we believe to be ​his former police officer father’s — in his bag, entered two classrooms where fifth grade students were, causing deaths and injuries indiscriminately,” Governor Mukerrem Unluer said.

Tuesday’s shooting at a high school in Sanliurfa, another province in southeastern Turkey, injured at least 16 teachers and students. The shooter, a 19-year-old former student, began the shooting spree in the school yard before entering the building and continuing to shoot. He shot and killed himself when police attempted to detain him.

“He started shooting at anyone ‌who ⁠came in front of him, and then with the students’ screams, the teachers’ screams, everyone immediately scattered,” said an unnamed witness.

What was particularly surprising was the shooter’s lack of a criminal record — and previous police confirmation that the school was safe.

But with school shootings on the rise around the world, it looks like Turkey has joined this tragic club.
