A 14-year-old opened fire at a school in the Kahramanmaras province on April 15, killing nine students aged 10 and 11 and one teacher. The youth attacker died at the scene.
Authorities said the boy brought five firearms to the school and was the son of a former police inspector, who has since been arrested.
In a separate incident the previous day in the southeastern province of Sanliurfa, a former student opened fire at his former high school, wounding 16 people, before taking his own life when confronted by police.
The attacks have sparked public outrage. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has dismissed a deputy education minister and said the government would introduce measures, including restrictions on gun ownership.
