A shooting incident occurred at a school in Thailand’s Nonthaburi province, situated just north of Bangkok. According to a report from Reuters, a student opened fire, leading to an unconfirmed number of fatalities. Thai police provided this information as the investigation continues.
The shooting took place in the Bang Kruai district, a location now grappling with shock and concern. Authorities identified the alleged shooter as a student, based on details from Reuters. As of now, further information regarding the victims, the suspect, or the potential motive behind the attack has not been disclosed by officials.
This incident adds to a series of similar violent events seen this year. Earlier examples include a tragic shooting at a high school in British Columbia, Canada, which occurred in February.
Newsweek has reached out to the U.S. State Department, seeking their comments on the situation through an online form late Thursday night. As this story develops, more updates are expected.
