Overview
- A 14-year-old student allegedly shot his grandparents at their home before going to Debsirin Nonthaburi School and opening fire, and officials say the suspect was later found fatally wounded and has died.
- The attack, which occurred Friday, left multiple people dead and dozens wounded as students hid under desks and were evacuated by staff and emergency teams.
- Police recovered the handgun and ammunition at the scene, said the shooter fired at least 26 rounds with dozens more found, and investigators have seized the suspect’s electronic devices while probing how the minor accessed the family firearm.
- Authorities report the suspect had searched mass-shooting sites and was under academic stress, and investigators are examining those digital traces as part of a wider probe into motive and warning signs.
- The government ordered immediate school-security upgrades, mental-health support teams and victim payments and the prime minister pledged new limits on civilian gun carriage as lawmakers and police review enforcement gaps after repeated mass shootings in recent years.
