A teenage girl is detained after she stabs eight girls at a middle school in Istanbul, Turkish officials say. The attack happens around 8:40 a.m. at a school in Başakşehir, in the northwestern part of the city. Police detain the suspected attacker after the injuries are reported.
All outlets describe the attacker as a student and the victims as female pupils. Turkish Minute and Inquirer.net report that eight students are wounded, including one in critical condition and others with moderate-to-serious injuries. The Punch similarly says the attacker injures eight girls and is detained. Across coverage, the main differences are the level of detail on the victims’ conditions and the attacker’s reported age and school status, but the core account is consistent: a knife attack in a school setting and rapid police detention of the suspect.
