Cars don't get shot up all the time here.  Anyone in that area know what potential beef led to this?

Phuya Baan is the boss for a village. 

 

Kamnan is the boss for a number of villages, a Tamboon.

That's severe.   I know next to nothing about it, but from the brief description in the OP, it sounds like cops and/or VIP's are involved.  Who else would have the fire-power and audacity to do such a heinous act?

 

I hope everyone involved in the murders is brought to justice and the full force of punishment is brought upon them.
