The teacher who survived the attack in Afyonkarahisar described the terrifying moments: I shouted 'Don't do it'

Arif Sefa Özdemir, who lives in Bozhüyük village of Afyonkarahisar's İhsaniye district, killed Ahmet Uzel (57), Bekir Toprak (50) and Numan Toprak (56) the previous day, due to a disagreement in combine harvester shopping, and then tried to steal the vehicles of Seydi Ahmet Aydoğmuş (73) and his wife Satı Aydoğmuş (68), İsmail Şen and teachers Hilal Mete and Ayşe Sena while escaping. He killed Demir and injured Sevgi Polatlı. The suspect, who fled to Eskişehir after the murders, was caught here. Özdemir, who was taken into custody yesterday, was arrested by the court on the charge of 'intentional murder of more than one person'. It was revealed that Özdemir bought the shotgun he used in the murders from M.A. for 12 thousand liras about a month ago and that the gun did not have a license.

'THEY COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF FEAR'

It was stated that Özdemir did not harm physical education teacher Sultan Sema Gökçe because she got out of the vehicle in the car with 3 teachers, and that he killed Religious Culture and Ethics teacher Hilal Mete (31) and Science teacher Ayşe Sena Demir (46), who could not get out of the vehicle out of fear. Sultan Sema Gökçe, who survived the attack, explained her experiences in her statement.

'I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO KILL ME TOO'

Stating that the attacker approached with the excuse of help, and then opened fire by counting backwards to his friends who could not get out of the vehicle, Sultan Sema Gökçe said, "I was sitting in the front seat. First, he asked for help by saying 'My vehicle broke down.' Then he immediately pointed his gun and said, 'I will not harm you. Just give me the car and go.' Thereupon, I immediately got out of the vehicle, went down to the bottom of the roadside and shouted 'Don't'. My two friends in the vehicle could not get out due to the great fear and panic they experienced. The attacker then said. "I'm counting down from three. If you don't get off, I'll shoot you," he said. Then he started counting down and when the time ran out, he started shooting. I thought he was going to kill me too, but he left without shooting me.
