Teacher fatally shot at Osmaniye high school amid rising school-gun incidents
A teacher was killed by gunfire in the courtyard of Farabi Anadolu High School in Çardak village, Osmaniye province, after a suspect was detained.
In Osmaniye’s Çardak village, a teacher named M.B. was shot dead on the grounds of Farabi Anadolu High School, according to Governor Mehmet Fatih Serdengeçti. The alleged shooter, identified by the initials A.B., used an illegal gun and was taken into custody, with authorities also seizing a firearm thought to be the murder weapon. Reports indicate the suspect is the teacher’s nephew and that a previous disagreement may have motivated the attack.
