NAKHON SAWAN: -- One Vietnamese log poacher was shot dead and one forestry ranger was injured in a gunfight at Mae Wong national park in Nakhon Sawan province yesterday.

 

The rangers were on a patrol in the national park when they encountered a group of log poachers illegally entering the park to cut the protected eaglewood at about 2.00pm.

 

A brief gunfight broke out, and one ranger from Huey Kha Kheng wildlife sanctuary identified later as Suthirat Butpet, 49, was shot on the left shoulder.
