Confusion as man shot dead in nighttime shootout at Hat Yai fresh food market

 

 

Police are investigating a confusing situation after a shootout in front of market goers in Hat Yai at 3am this morning. 

 

One man named as Thong Sae-Tae, 38, was found dead from a 9mm shot to the chest.

 

Five people were injured including one woman. 

 

Four shell casings from a .38 gun were found at the scene.

The Thai people are very violent and revengeful, some bad blood may have been boiling

Would be interested to know what country you come from. Because I'm pretty sure the Thais don't have a monopoly on violence - five fatal stabbings in London last week alone, a bazillion gun deaths in America annually, terrible domestic violence homicide rates in NZ and Australia.

like that is not the case in thailand in most of thailand's cities and towns, and mind that London has an population of 8.7 million and 140 murders is not alarming, cities and towns in thailand are really small. execpt bangkok.

 

also thailand has higher or similar gun murder rate as USA per 100,000 people.

95% of all murders and crimes never get published in english speaking news in thailand, so the 2-3 murders you see on thai visa news or bangkok post is not the only murders in thailand.

 

 European countries and AUS, NZ have between 0.5 - 1.5 in murder rate per 100,000 people while thailand has around 4 - 6 murder rate. Germany,France,UK,Sweden, Finland, Norway,Italy, Spain,Poland has 3098 murders together that is lower than thailands total murder amount.

where I come from it's irrelevant to the case, in this specific case different people have different reasons to make a comment, usually it's based on living experiences, did it crossed your mind that I may have a reason to comment the way I did, as for the cities/countries you mention, do I live there? No, do I care? No. I live/reside in Thailand, violence there concerns me since I have been PERSONALLY affect by it, so yes, for me and only for me, they (fortunately not all of them) are revengeful and violent

Illogical comment. You've been affected by violence here so that means thai people are vengeful and violent? If you're that scared, why are you sti here? You're not exactly living in Syria

 

That's also a terrible sampling method. Name me a country where there aren't vengeful and violent people. 

 

Go on, I'll wait

the main reason am still here is to find some poor old jerks that can't take accept a different opinion than theirs, usually called pity people, can't figure how they can look at themselves in the mirror, maybe you know what I am talking about and can help, your poor attitude let's me think that the stick is not deep enough for you, better you take a longer one

Same diameter bullet (well, real close- .357" vs .355"), but a .38 shell won't fire in a 9mm gun, and vice versa.  The cartridges are different shapes and lengths.  Typically, .38 shells are fired from revolvers and standard 9mm parabellum shells are fired from automatics.   

 

There are some exceptions, but when you read about a .38 shell, it's usually from a revolver, and a 9mm shell is from an automatic- so at least 2 different guns were used.

 

What are interchangeable are that some .38 shells can be fired from a .357 revolver.

9mm bullets are .355" or .356" in diameter.  .38 bullets are available in .357" and .358" (lead). Not a big difference.

With five people injured and one dead and only four casings found it sounds like the market has a sale on of 2 for the price of one.

indescriminant shooting with not a care in the world who he killed.

this is deffo a case of hang him high.

Umm.. no. Lots of shootings in Canada. Even in small towns.

 

My old neighbor (gang leader) was ambushed in front of a hotel by 2 guys with machine guns as they were sitting in their SUV. The car was sprayed and he died, girlfriend in the back was in the throat and survived as a paraplegic. Happened right across the street from the police station actually. 

 

A friend of mine witnessed someone get shot in shot in the back of the head walking down the road, too. Execution.

 

I could go on.. Mostly gang related or mafia related, but still a lot of shootings in Canada.

the .38, .357, .380 auto and 9mm ammunition are all the same caliber. 

The .38 is 0.38 of an inch;
Europe uses the metric system, so 9mm.
In Germany the .380 auto is called the 9mm Kurz (short).
It could very well be that the 9mm cartridge is the round most often used in crimes because it is the cartridge most often used in semiautomatic

A clown with a gun shoots someone who dies.

That is a normal day here.

Not shooting someone IS newsworthy

compared to Thailand, Canada has little shootings...

 

Gun murder rate.

Canada population 36 million - 266 gun murders = 0.73 gun murders per 100,000 people.

TH population 68 million people - 3,000+ gun murders = 4.4 gun murders per 100,000 people.

 

Murder rate.

Canada population 36 million - 660 murders = 1.8 murders per 100,000 people.

TH population 68 million - 3,000 - 4,000+ murders = 4.4 - 5.8 murders per 100,000 people.

Thailand has double the population with almost the same amount of gun murders. 

 

Plus, not every shooting is a fatality.

 

*edit, GUN murders, not fun murders, lol.

how can canada with 266 gun murders be almost the same with thailands 3,000+ gun murders?

even if not every shooting is fatal, with those numbers thailand would still have higher.

this is by 100,000 people.
