  "account": "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.",
  "summary": "Nine people were killed and an additional 23 wounded in the country's worst mass shooting since 2022, reigniting debate over firearms control.",
