Dawn shoot out in Pattaya resort as drug agent empties his gun at police

 

Picture: Sanook

 

CCTV footage from two cameras showed a dramatic shootout at a resort in the Soi Khao Noi area of Bang Lamung in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

 

Police were acting on reports of a drugs and sex party at two rooms -302 and 303 - at the property.

 

When they arrived they were not expecting guns to be used said Wisarut Buathong who insisted they were not negligent.

 

But as they moved towards the rooms a man rushed out and shot five bullets from a 9mm gun at the officers who themselves fired back.

 

No one was hit though Wisarut said he was very lucky after a pick-up was peppered by bullets.

 

Arrested was the shooter 29 year old Woratha or "Golf" who said that he had come to get drugs from a big dealer called "Bank".

 

Sanook said he had six previous drug arrests to his name.

 

A man called "Bird" escaped in the confusion.

 

Golf attempted his escape in a Vios plowing through a police motorcycle but had to give himself up.

 

Thirty grams of "ice" methamphetamine and 20 Ya Ba tablets and a weighing machine found in his car were taken into evidence.

 

Investigations continue as the inquiry widens.

The shooter "Golf" does not appear to be an agent as the title indicate.

I was told it's at least 5 years behind bars for drug stuff: 6 x 5 = 30 years. How can it be he is just 29 years old?

Some of the nicknames are quite hilarious.

There should be quite a few called "Dick". although I'm yet to come across any.

Surprising the police didn't make a point of shooting him after capture (shot while trying to escape) since he tried to kill them.  Actually rather restrained of them. 

 

I guess it shows how difficult it actually is to hit non-stationary targets with a hand gun in the dark while trying to shot fast in a high stress situation. If you try it, you may be surprised at your ability to miss a man size target only three meters away.  But I agree the cops need more range time and need to practice this type of scenario instead of just shooting one box of ammo at a static target on the police range a few times a year.

A man called "Bird" escaped in the confusion......   Who was confused?  555!  Any priors? ..... Sanook said he had six previous drug arrests to his name.  This is too funny,, hilarious!!!!   Complete joke 5555

All those shots fired and neither side managed to hit anyone...pretty piss-poor marksmanship skills on display, haha.

What were the police doing out after dark?  This accounts for their confusion - they could n't see the colour of the notes.
