A student at a Chiang Mai school posted messages on a Line group, threatening to shoot other students, including those accused of bullying, on August 10. The threat was posted in the group used by students, and it included a specific time and instruction for those involved. The screenshot of the threat was later shared in a parents' Line group, prompting the school to contact the Mae Ping Police Station.
Uniformed and undercover police were deployed to the school to assess the situation and ensure student and staff safety. The student responsible for the post admitted to posting the message recklessly, following an online trend, and claimed they did not anticipate the post turning into a serious issue. Police questioned the student, and parents of the student were asked to meet officials.
Today, police increased security measures at the school and across Chiang Mai, urging students and parents to refrain from sharing unverified information to avoid panic or copycat behavior. The incident follows a recent shooting at a school in Nonthaburi that killed nine people, heightening concerns over school safety in Thailand.
