Two students were killed and another was wounded in a recent attack on a school bus in the Kadirli district of Osmaniye province of southern Turkey, daily Milliyet reported.

The bus was ambushed by the shooter as it left the school grounds at the end of the school day.

Three 16-year-old girls were wounded at the scene and were taken immediately to a nearby hospital. Two of the girls died and the third is still undergoing treatment.

Reports claimed the shooter had been turned down by one of the girls and shot at the bus to get revenge for his unreturned affections. The girl died after the attack.
