'Don't call me': Thai student messaged mum as she hid from school shooter
Another student dies from critical wounds after a student opened fire at a high school and his home outside Bangkok on Friday.
A Thai teenager killed nine people, including a 12-year-old student, at a high school outside Bangkok, before taking his own life, according to police. The 14-year-old suspect had previously had an air gun confiscated by a teacher and had been consuming violent online content, investigators said. Police interviewed 17 witnesses who provided details about the incident, which began when the teen killed his grandparents at home before going to school and opening fire.
A 12-year-old girl died in the hospital from her injuries, bringing the death toll to nine. The Thai Ministry of Education said it would implement new safety protocols, including mental health screenings and emergency response drills, after the shooting. The student's mother had warned her daughter to refrain from calling her during the attack, fearing the shooter might use a phone.
