Motive emerges in Kamphaeng Phet school shooting scare

In a Kamphaeng Phet school shooting scare on September 2, a 14-year-old student is accused of stealing his father's service pistol and opening fire at a secondary school in Kamphaeng Phet, Thailand. No one was injured during the incident. Police Colonel Anek Chansorn stated the boy was already on a break from classes. He allegedly fired at security guards and a group of people inside the school before attempting to find a female teacher, who had allegedly exposed personal information about him.

The boy was subdued by a rescue volunteer and taken into custody. The motive behind the shooting is being investigated, with possible links to the boy's depression and recent suspension from school.
