AKSARAY, TURKEY – FEBRUARY 11, 2016 A 16-year-old student was shot with a shotgun in her school yard by her 18-year-old boyfriend. His motive was believed to be the girl’s ending of their relationship.
Prior to the shooting, he reportedly demanded that they be able to talk normally and pleaded with her to give him another chance. When he realized he had no chance of convincing her, he went to his car where he had hidden a shotgun. Armed, he returned and opened fire. He shot her first, then himself.
The young girl succumbed to her wounds immediately and died in the schoolyard. The attacker ended up in critical condition. He shot off his entire lower jaw, but survived.
