What happened
A 15-year-old student opened fire near a high school in western Turkey, injuring 11 people, at least two of them seriously, before being arrested.
The incident occurred at around 8:00 am local time near a vocational and technical high school in the Turgutlu district of Manisa province.
The shooter, a student at the school, used a hunting rifle he had taken from his grandfather's house and fired indiscriminately near the school before trying to flee on foot.
Photos and videos from the scene showed the shooter walking down a street near the school with a rifle in his hand, and later running back down the same street.
After the shooting, worried parents rushed to the school, and clashes broke out between them and police who blocked the entrance to the building.
The motive for the attack is still unknown, but Turkish Justice Minister Akın Gürlek said two chief prosecutors had been appointed to investigate, and would also look into claims that the student had been bullied at school.
The shooter's parents and grandfather, who owned the gun, were detained as part of the investigation.
Minister Gürlek wrote on social media that "when it comes to the security of our children, we cannot ignore any negligence or irresponsibility".
The attack comes after two other school shootings in Turkey in the past six months, which left several people dead and injured.
In April, a former student shot and injured 16 people, mostly students, at a high school in southeastern Turkey, before taking his own life.
The next day, a 14-year-old student opened fire in two classrooms at his school in nearby Kahramanmaras province, killing eight students and a teacher, and injuring 13 others.
He was later shot dead by police.
In another incident in May, a gunman opened fire in a restaurant in southern Turkey, killing six people.
Turkey has no significant history of mass shootings, especially in educational institutions, although it is estimated that tens of millions of firearms are in private hands across the country, most of them illegally.
Following the April shootings, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced plans to tighten gun control and restrict citizens' ability to possess firearms, and also promised to increase penalties for gun owners who fail to store their weapons properly, especially in cases where children and teenagers can access them.
