A school shooting in Nonthaburi province, just north of Bangkok, left at least ten students injured on Friday, according to local media reports. Thai PBS, a local broadcaster, initially claimed that the incident occurred at a well-known high school in the Bang Kruai district, with the number of injured people ranging from ten to fifteen.
The perpetrator, identified as a student, remains the only source of information available at this time. Emergency workers captured images of students exiting the Debsirin Nonthaburi School, located on the northwestern outskirts of Bangkok, as ambulances and medical personnel rushed to assist the wounded. One photograph shows a student lying on a stretcher outside an ambulance, while another depicts a doctor tending to an injured individual.
Thailand boasts one of the highest rates of gun ownership in the region, with approximately ten million firearms believed to be in circulation, one for every seven inhabitants. Despite numerous attempts to tighten gun laws, repeated shootings continue to occur in the country. In February, a teacher was killed and a student was injured in Hat Yai district, southern Thailand, after a gunman opened fire at a school.
