- Justice Minister Akin Gurlek said two chief prosecutors are leading the probe and that some of the injured are in serious or critical condition.
- Local reports say the assailant was a 15‑year‑old student who used a shotgun taken from a relative’s home; the suspect’s parents and grandfather, who reportedly owned the gun, were detained for questioning.
