Turkish police have arrested 162 people accused of posting controversial content online about two deadly school shootings which took place this week, the BBC reports.
They were “found to have engaged in posts and activities praising crime and criminals and negatively affecting public order,” police said.
At least 16 people were injured in a shooting at a high school in the country’s southeast on Tuesday, before another nine were killed in a shooting at another school in the city of Kahramanmaras on Wednesday.
Hundreds have gathered near the city’s main mosque for the funerals of the young victims, which are being held on Thursday.
