Thailand video news | Death toll reaches nine in Nonthaburi school shooting, Former MP detained after Nonthaburi official shot dead

Nine people have died in a shooting at a school in Nonthaburi, Thailand, as reported by Thailand video news. The gunman, a former MP, is currently in police custody after allegedly shooting an official dead during an argument over a debt. Five teachers, the suspected gunman's grandparents, and the young shooter himself were among the deceased victims.

Twenty-seven others were injured, with 15 still receiving treatment and six in critical condition. Authorities have found evidence suggesting the gunman had researched firearms online and through social media for two years, and he had brought a BB gun to school previously. The motive behind the attack remains unclear, but investigators are looking into family difficulties, school issues, friendships, and exposure to violent online content.
