Four people were killed and 20 injured when a student opened fire at a school in south-east Turkey on Wednesday.

Kahramanmaras provincial governor Mukerrem Unluer said the student, who also died, was armed with guns belonging to his police officer father.

The victims of the classroom attack included a teacher, he said.

It is the second shooting in a Turkish school in two days.

The motive of the attack was not immediately known.

Earlier, media reports said authorities sent police and ambulances to the school in the Onikisubat district, after gunfire was heard there.

Video footage from the scene showed at least two people being put into ambulances outside the middle school.

A day earlier, 16 people, mostly students, were wounded when a former student opened fire at a high school in nearby Sanliurfa province. The attacker later killed himself.
