Three students and one teacher died in the attack in the province of Kahramanmaras, Governor Mukerrem Unluer told reporters, adding the shooter had shot and killed himself in the commotion.

"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," Unluer said.
