Thai news identified the weapon as a Heckler and Koch USP 9mm with silencer, military and police issue firearm. They could be wrong, but does seem a very specific description. He left with over 500,000 baht worth of gold The police reward of 100,000 baht has been boosted by a gold dealers group and individuals, there is now a 240,000 reward for information leading to his capture dead or alive, as police are authorised to use lethal force None of this of course is consolation to the bereaved families.

BigC Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Feel very bad for the 2 year old. Not even started life yet. Why did he have to shoot people? Most armed robbers only shoot if they really have to due to someone trying to he a hero Real shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark mark Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Hmmmm, .... Drugs ? .... I see no other cause for shooting a 2 year old !!! ...

Like he wanted a fire fight ! and not a clever Robbery, like pull a simple clever robbery ! Leave every one alone ! Just take the stuff ! ... And you might even get away with it (If the gold shop owners do not find you first !!!) ... But this guy obviously was not thinking. ...

Artisi Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 3 hours ago, EricTh said: There are many Thai citizens with his size, he's not exceptionally huge like average westerner. Furthermore, westerners can't import or carry guns (let alone a big gun) into Thailand, they would be stopped at the airport. However, guns can be smuggled in from Malaysia into southern Thailand where there is violence and an insurgency for many decades. So you really believe that stopping foreigners from importing or carrying firearms will deter any foreigner who wants to arm him /herself? There are plenty of firearms available if you ask the right people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred white Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 5 hours ago, Thomas J said: Time for getting gun control here in Thailand. Oh wait, Thailand makes it extremely difficult to obtain a firearm. Perhaps they can copy Mexico where there is a minimum of a 6 month waiting period, have an extensive background check, and there is only a single gun store in the entire country that is guarded like a prison. Certainly it has worked there ???? Yeah the cartels own the police and have plenty of military grade weapons the only ones this works on is the law-abiding citizens gun control laws don't apply to criminals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eloquent pilgrim Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Condolences to all concerned in this appalling atrocity. I hope the Thai police have the sense and the resources to look back over a couple of months CCTV. He will have been there before, sans camouflage, casing the gaff. Body recognition software might allow them to put a face to this scumbag. Hope they catch him and lower him into a tree shredder ….. feet first, very slowly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tragedy of a two year old being shot by a bullet in the forehead in a department store is particularly gruesome and sad, and thus deserving of the headline. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have seen in the videos, this criminal knows how to use a firearm. His use of a can on the weapon also may indicate familiarity with firearms, since the use of same with correct ammunition will lesson the recoil impulse and lower the decible rating of the sound for the purpose of protecting his hearing and redirecting the sound (it will NOT SILENCE a weapon though, thats a myth). Thats why so many elite military units use cans, especially for offensive missions. There is more to this guy or to this situation than is blatantly obvious. I hope they catch the bastid swifty and put the screws to him before they lock him away or execute him. Again, RIP to the victims 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think adults are nothing, it is just that toddlers death are more shocking than adult death because toddlers don't pose a threat to the shooter. It goes to show he's a ruthless killer. The Thai newspaper reported that one staff was shot in the abdomen, a customer was shot in the face. I can't see which customer was that?

Lets all hope that the police find this scumbag and shoot him down like the rabid dog he is. I couldnt care less if its a 2 year old or a 95 year old . The fact that this pos puts zero value in a human life is enough for him to be executed . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
