  "summary": "A 14-year-old student carried out a deadly shooting spree at a school outside Bangkok, killing himself and at least five others, including his grandparents. According to police, the teenager used a gun belonging to his grandfather to fire 26 rounds, and 34 rounds of ammunition were found on him.\n\nThe attack occurred at Debsirin Nonthaburi School, on the capital's northwestern outskirts. Those killed at the school were all teachers and staff. Twenty-three people were wounded in the incident.\n\nStudents and teachers were seen fleeing the scene, with emergency workers treating the wounded and loading them into ambulances. The motive behind the attack has not been established. Thailand has experienced a succession of mass shootings in recent years, with a large number of guns in civilian possession.",
