Seven minors summoned for interrogation following shooting incident at school Seven minors were summoned for interrogation at the Bang Bua Thong District Police Station in Bangkok on Friday, September 16th, following the case of a 14-year-old student who was reportedly shot by his friend at a school’s computer room on Thursday. On Thursday afternoon, a schoolboy was reportedly shot by his classmate while he was reportedly showing off his shotgun in the computer room. However, the gun reportedly slipped from the friend’s hand onto the computer keyboard, firing by accident, and therefore caused the incident. According to the police’s initial interrogation, the weapon was a handmade Thai firearm and no conflicts were reported to be a trigger of the incident. The gun reportedly belonged to a friend in the group. After the incident, none of them attempted to flee but they attempted to hide the gun. About 11 people, including students, involved in the case were under police custody, insisting that they did not intentionally cause the incident.

In this July 11, 2022 photo, Go Negosyo founder Joey Concepcion talks to Rep. Sandro Marcos (Ilocos Norte) during a Go Negosyo gathering for leaders and representatives of top digital platforms at a bar in BGC, Taguig City. The STAR / Miguel De Guzman, file MANILA, Philippines — Lifting the requirement to wear face masks outdoors will help boost tourism and highlight friendly Filipino smiles, businessman and Go Negosyo founder Joey Concepcion said even as many, including the Department of Health, have raised concerns over the move. The Philippines moved to laxer mask rules after Cebu City issued an executive order in late August making face masks optional outdoors. The DOH said then that it was not yet time to lift the mask mandate but the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases later voted to recommend relaxing the rules, which President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. agreed to this week. "I know that many feel it is not the right time but when will be the right time? There could be a worse variant, so let us prepare but let's not overcompensate with restrictions that may no longer be practical," Concepcion, a member of the president's Private Sector Advisory Council, said in a statement to media.
