A 14-year-old Thai student killed five people, including his grandparents, and himself at a school near Bangkok on Friday, marking the country's worst mass shooting in nearly four years.

Twenty-three individuals sustained injuries in the incident, with nine in critical condition. The shooting is the second school-related incident in Thailand this year following a fatal attack in the south earlier in the month. This episode adds to a series of mass shootings in recent years, which highlight the nation's high rate of civilian gun ownership.
