Introduction

A student shot people at a school in southern Turkey. Nine people died. Eight were students and one was a teacher.

Main Body

The attack happened on Wednesday. A 14-year-old boy used guns to shoot students in two classrooms. The boy died at the school. He took the guns from his father's room. His father was a police officer. The police arrested both parents. Thirteen other people were hurt. Some are very sick in the hospital. The boy planned the attack. He wrote a note about it in April. He liked a famous shooter from America on the internet. Another shooting happened recently in the same part of Turkey. A different student hurt 16 people and then killed himself. The government says these two attacks are not connected. Some people say schools are not safe. They say there are too many guns and too much poverty. They want more security guards and nurses in schools. Other experts say students have been violent for a long time. They worry that other students will copy this attack.
