Just watch Thairath live on Youtube. They're still covering it live.

Ok thairath back to saying we don't know where he is or if he's still in the mall, waiting on confirmation from soldiers

If he truly did escape I have no words as to how one individual can outsmart an entire military and police force in an area that's been shut down and secured for the last 10 hours. You'd think there would be a soldier or cop every 3 feet at this point. 

There is no way this guy has escaped, it is a ring of steel around that place with guns pointing at every inch of it. there are hundreds of police, soldiers and all the special op teams you can think of.... and then some.

 

They are probably even guarding the drains.

Your wife is like a lot of people.... reading fake news and passing it on to her husband. 

 

I can not find a shred of this report anywhere on any media source, and i am in constant touch with events through the local social media platforms where many know people who are/were involved myself included.

 

I am just a few miles down the road from this mall. My wife was there just before it happened. 

 

You seem to be the only person who has this info.

What do you mean? It was live on streams on many news sites. I watched it myself on NRK.no (Norwegian).

Doesn't say much for all those 'decorated' generals with medals galore all over their chests

 

Pretty sure one unit of the S.A.S. could bring this country to a standstill!!

Thats not live. Anyway, its the exact same spot Thairath and all other media is.

[Canuck1966]

I'm surprised this sort of thing doesn't happen more often.

The way the top few percent subjugate and steal from the rest of the country is abhorrent

Video of him apparently live streaming during the attack and saying how tired he is and he can't shoot any more due to stiff finger.

It was live but the broadcast stopped 3 minutes after I shared the link.

 

If folks can read Thai - then this is the hashtag to follow: #กราดยิงโคราช for videos from shoppers inside and bystanders, tweet translation also available by pulling up each tweet (stream goes by rather fast through).

What was 'live on streams'?..... The final firefight with a huge caption on it saying 'FINAL FIREFIGHT'?... then a picture of the dead gunman?..... Please provide at least a single link to support (realistically) that this is over.

This is like 12 hours old. Before he went inside the mall.

Yes, I know. And your point is?

A  minute ago you posted saying he had been shot dead, then you retracted and said he was still alive and had escaped. Have you made up your mind yet?

[Canuck1966]

He said he was tired 12 hours ago, yet he's still killing people. 

He couldn't have been that tired is probably the point

No. He didn't even say he WAS dead. He said he HAS to be dead. If you had been watching the stream during the intense shooting, you'll understand it has to have ended there. Reuters also reported that two bodies were brought out after the shooting. It doesn't mean he IS dead, its just very surprising if he managed to get away.

[asiaquakedb-tester]

Apparently the reason the media outlets and citizen journos have stopped streaming is because it's getting in the way of law enforcement performing their duties (source: 

)

[gk10002000]

The Thais in general are not very good at organizing things when it involves different organizations, social groups, the police do not run things, as they stand around waiting for the actual military guys to make decisions.  Frozen by indecision due to their own social structure

[expatinbangkok]

Well they gave him hours to set up defences and plan an exit

Being tired? I don't think that's the point. Firstly why would you believe anything the lunatic said? You sound naive.
The thing that struck me, was it was a video of him live streaming the attack and posing for a selfie, almost gloating, complaining about a stiff trigger finger after killing several people. That was the shocking thing. Don't know why you picked up on the tired thing.

I was referring to the poster who said several times he was dead and referred to a 'final firefight'.... The video streams being posted a few minutes ago was actual footage from hours ago that is on a loop on thairath.

 

I did see the live streams of the latest gunfire which actually happened around 10.30pm, that was an operation of probably covering fire to clear all the floors of trapped shoppers that the gunman wasn't on.... my wife's cousin included in those who were liberated by that operation.

 

Since then there has been no actual dramatic incidents. those being carried out were wounded long ago, oh and apparently the wife's cousin had to be carried out also because she has a condition and can not walk too well.

 

As a matter of fact, i want her to take me to the security guy who carried her to safety, so i can shake his hand.... he was a hero in my book.

Been reported on several others as well. But I read one deceased one injured, unless the other officer has since passed away as well.

Odd that! A major balls up by Anutin on his attitude to ferangs and then one of his bosses boys goes mental and deflects all the attention.

No, the latest gunfire was around one and a half hours ago or so, and the media was eventually moved away. The intense shooting lasted for 10-15 minutes and there could be heard several hundreds of shots in an almost nonstop shooting.

[Canuck1966]

Send the top man in, I'm sure all his years of combat will be suffice to get the job done

[Nakmuay887]

4:35 am The shooter now moves from the back of the mall to the front, 40 police/army snipers move up to reinforce the front. #Korat #กราดยิงโคราช per Thairath
