Armed attack at the high school in Turgutlu district of Manisa...
On the morning of September 22, 2026, 15-year-old Halil Orhan, a 9th grade student of the same school, opened fire with a hunting rifle in front of İnci Üzmez Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School. 11 students were injured. Three students are in life-threatening situation. Students in critical condition are in intensive care following surgery. While the attacker student was caught and taken into custody in a short time, his grandfather and his parents, who were the licensed holder of the rifle used in the incident, were also taken into custody. Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Internal Affairs appointed many inspectors; Education at the school was suspended and psychosocial support teams were sent.
Is the incident “isolated”? 20 million basic education students, 1.5 million teachers... A huge mass. While the Ministry of Education imposes Sharia law with sects and communities in pursuit of religiousizing education, millions of students are poor and come to school hungry. You don't deliberately withhold a meal. Psychological counseling and guidance units are very rare. No cleaning staff or equipment! There are millions of people out there who are unemployed, hopeless, and unable to plan their future... Our ancient RTE government cannot bring down the drug-stimulant mafia. Organ mafia and all kinds of criminal organizations have surrounded the social fabric like a spider.
