A 12-year-old girl died after a school shooting in Thailand, raising the death toll to nine victims. The shooter, a 14-year-old, opened fire at Debsirin Nonthaburi School in Nonthaburi province on Friday morning, then apparently killed his two grandparents at their family home earlier that day. The girl succumbed to her injuries after being hospitalized, according to Thailand's Health Ministry.
Fourteen people remain hospitalized, with seven in critical condition. Most of the wounded were aged between 12 and 14. The shooter's gun, legally registered to his grandfather, was a small, compact firearm. Most victims suffered a single fatal gunshot wound to a vital area. The school plans to suspend classes from August 10-14 and staff are instructed to work from home during that period. The community has expressed shock and sadness over the tragedy.
