Thai Teen Shooter Watched Violent Content Online, Had A Knife In School Bag
Last year a teacher had confiscated a BB gun, a type of air gun, that the Thailand teen shoot took to school.
A 14-year-old Thai boy allegedly opened fire at his school, killing seven people, including his grandparents, before taking his own life. Police said the perpetrator had a history of interest in firearms, having watched violent content online for about a year prior to the shooting, according to Atthapol Anusit, deputy commissioner of the Provincial Police Region 1.
The boy had also been caught with a BB gun, an air gun, by a teacher last year. The Ministry of Education vowed to implement new safety protocols in schools, including mental health screenings, emergency response drills, and measures to prevent bullying and the bringing of weapons onto campus.
