Thailand mass shooting

Eight people plus the 14-year-old gunman are dead after a shooting spree in the north-western fringes of Bangkok.

Thailand mass shooting

On Friday morning at Debsirin Nonthaburi School, located on the outskirts of Bangkok, Thailand, a shooting unfolded that left 14-year-old Khim and her classmates in terror. Initially, the students thought the loud bangs they heard might have come from a construction site, peering over a balcony to investigate. However, when the gunfire continued, a teacher promptly ushered everyone into a classroom, and using a messaging group, they learned of the active shooter.

Frightened and desperate, the students took desperate measures to protect themselves, pushing desks in front of a door, switching off the lights, and huddling together near the classroom windows.
