And regrettably, there will be more of these kinds of incidents to follow.

The tragic and sad incident at the Mall in Korat has taken the Cork out of a bottle.

Jealous husband/boyfriend/ex-lover ...... pick one.

 

'It' fired 7 shots at/into the female victim.

These things go on in a semi regular way. I think there were two fatal shootings and two fatal stabbings in shopping malls locally in the couple of years I stayed in Nonthaburi.

 

Either way it is just another senseless tragedy that has destroyed another family no doubt.

I knew, the Korat shootings inspired many other angry Thai men........

 

That's what you get, when you slap every crime with 500 Baht and a Wai........

Hopefully there will be CCTV everywhere so tracking the shooter down should be accomplished quickly.

Gun crime in Thailand due to the easy availability of weapons to 'children' has always been an issue, just been elevated of late because of the horrific incident in Korat.

Provided that these cameras are in working order; which is unfortunately not often the case because the words maintenance and repair do not exist in Thailand.
In addition when the boss of the installer receives the change to install a camera with an excellent definition, he replaces it with an inexpensive one in order to put the difference in his pocket.

Gunman kills ex-wife at Bangkok shopping mall days after mass shooting

By Panarat Thepgumpanat

 

 

BANGKOK (Reuters) - A man killed his ex-wife and wounded another person at a shopping centre in Bangkok on Tuesday, police said, 10 days after a mass shooting at another mall in Thailand's northeast.

 

The gunman then fled the Century The Movie Plaza, near the Thai capital's Victory Monument and is still on the run, Thai police said.

 

"One person died and another was injured," police Colonel Kissana Pattanacharoen told Reuters.

 

Police said in a statement they knew the suspect's identity and were working to apprehend him.

 

The gunman entered a beauty clinic at the mall where his ex-wife worked and opened fire, killing her and wounding a bystander, Kissana said.

 

The nine-storey mall, best known for its top-floor cinema, was continuing to operate and only the area where the shooting took place was cordoned off.

 

The plaza is connected to the Victory Monument skytrain station, a transit hub that was crowded with commuters in the late afternoon rush hour.

 

Ten days before, a soldier killed at least a dozen people at the Terminal 21 shopping centre in the northeastern city of Nakhon Ratchasima. He had earlier killed his commanding officer, other soldiers at his base and several people at a Buddhist temple.

Nothing new to Thailand...

[PatOngo]

Fragile Thai males never seem to have a problem acquiring guns! ????

[steven100]

maybe he wasn't paid his broker fee either.

[spidermike007]

Why can't men just walk away? There is a big issue with the relationship. It cannot be resolved. So, you accept it and move on. That is what real men do. Babies and children, who look like men, take offense at anything and everything and react in a crazy manner, without any reflection. 

 

Know thyself. Look within for the source of the problem. Take responsibility for your life. Man up. Get a life.

In the internet age  good or bad news  travel very quickly;
tourists generally avoid countries at risk, even if the landscapes or the animal fauna are splendid.
And even if the price of the plane ticket is not very expensive.

Quite to choose, they will prefer Vietnam or Malaysia ...

This is a good point - it does not. The headline was used to generate readers and stir up fear.

or anywhere else for that matter, relationship breakdowns are an emotional matter involving feelings, as well as money, fear, children, property etc. the ego is being attacked as well as the foundation of one's life. If both parties can't put aside feelings for a few weeks and deal with the matter fairly and logically, and few are capable of that, it is a disaster for all concerned, at the extreme end of the scale violence is the outcome, this is worldwide and not a Thai phenomena.
