Four killed, 15 injured, in Thailand school shooting
At least four people have been killed and 15 students injured during a school shooting just north of the Thai capital Bangkok, the deputy interior minister said.
A 14-year-old student killed five people, including his grandparents, and himself at a school near Bangkok in the worst school shooting Thailand has seen since 2022. The teenager used a gun belonging to his grandfather, firing at least 26 bullets before fatally shooting his elderly relatives around 5am local time. The incident occurred at the Debsirin Nonthaburi School, a prominent government school in Nonthaburi province, about 45 minutes from Bangkok.
The motive behind the attack remains under investigation. This attack follows a string of high-profile shootings in recent years in Thailand, which has the largest number of civilian-owned guns in Southeast Asia.
