"Bayad Talabani, a Kurdish student at an American international school in the city of Sulaimaniyah, shot dead his American teacher before he shot himself," Zana Mohammed Salih, the mayor of the city, told reporters.
Talabani was seriously wounded and was transported to a hospital in the city located some 350 km north of Baghdad, Salih said.
Iraqi security forces sealed off the scene and launched an investigation into the incident, Salih added.
The school is one of several international schools that offer high-quality foreign-style education in English language in Kurdistan region.
The incident is the first of its kind in Iraq's Kurdistan, as the region enjoyed stability unlike other parts of Iraq which were engulfed by violence and sectarian strife since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.
