In brief

At least four people were killed and several injured in a shooting at Ayser Calık Secondary School in Kahramanmaraş, Turkey. This follows an earlier shooting at a different school, where 16 individuals were injured. The motives remain unclear, and an investigation is underway.

At least four people have been killed and several others injured following a shooting at a school in southern Turkey, the local governor has said.

The incident happened at Ayser Calık Secondary School in the Kahramanmaraş area, local media reports.

There has been no official confirmation of who has been killed or what has happened to the attacker.

It comes a day after 16 people were injured after an ex-student opened fire at another high school, also in the south of the country, before killing himself.

The motive of Wednesday's attack is not yet known and an investigation has been launched.

Turkish media reported that the attacker entered two classrooms and had five guns and seven magazines with him, which allegedly belonged to his father.
