Turkey will hold funerals for nine victims killed in a school shooting by a 14-year-old, an attack that has sent shockwaves across the country, with authorities saying the suspect had referenced a US mass killer in a WhatsApp profile image.

The attack in the southern province of Kahramanmaras  was Turkey's second such incident this week in a country where such shootings have been rare.
