A deadly shooting at Debsirin Nonthaburi School on the outskirts of Bangkok has left at least four people dead and dozens more injured, according to the information provided by authorities.
The incident reportedly began shortly after 10 a.m. local time, when a 14-year-old suspect opened fire inside the school. Police said the victims included two students and two teachers.
At least 30 other people were reportedly injured, with three described as being in critical condition. Emergency medical teams responded to the school and transported injured victims to hospitals for treatment.
For a period after the shooting began, authorities said the situation remained active. At approximately 10:40 a.m., police reported that the suspect was still inside the building and that gunfire could still be heard intermittently.
Police and emergency responders worked to secure the school and protect students and staff while the incident was brought under control. The eventual fate of the suspect was initially unclear, with reports indicating that he was later shot and that authorities were investigating whether the death resulted from a self-inflicted gunshot wound or police action.
The attack has sent shockwaves through the school community and the wider Bangkok area. Families were left waiting for information about their children, while hospitals prepared to treat the large number of injured people.
Investigators are expected to establish a detailed timeline of the attack, determine how the suspect obtained the weapon and examine the circumstances that preceded the shooting. Authorities are also expected to review security measures at the school and interview witnesses.
Because initial reports can change as officials verify information, the casualty figures, the suspect’s status and other details should be treated as preliminary until confirmed by Thai authorities.
The incident has renewed concerns about school safety and firearm violence in Thailand, while families and the local community mourn those who lost their lives and hope for the recovery of those injured.
