An unknown man reportedly fired a gunshot in public last night (November 11th) on Pattaya Beach Road. A security guard nearby accidentally suffered injuries to his left hand from the incident.

 

The Pattaya City Police were notified of the incident at 9:00 P.M. opposite Tipp Plaza.

 

Police and The Pattaya News arrived at the scene to find spots of blood on the ground and several onlookers standing around looking anxious. The injured security guard, Mr. Thanom Sanenarong, 57, had already been taken to a nearby hospital before reporters from TPN media arrived.

 

Witnesses on Pattaya Beach, whose names were not given to the press, reportedly told Pattaya police an unidentified man, possibly a foreign national of Asian descent, was walking on the side of the road. He was holding a gun and recording a video, possibly a live stream for a social media service. The witnesses originally thought it was a fake gun.

 

The man began pacing back and forth in front of the Tipp plaza area and then, according to the witnesses, raised his firearm and fired a single shot. Mr. Thanom, who was sitting 50 meters away, was accidentally hit by the gunshot in his left hand. Witnesses believe the gunshot was random and not specifically aimed at Mr. Thanom.

This guy can hit a target at 50m with a pistol.  Must be Korean SAS.  ????  

Another cop gone mentally AWOL always a strong possibility 

Pistol or revolver at 50 meters? Wow. 25-30 meters is the average effective range.

 

Problem is, and what some.people fail to realise is, that firing a weapon will injure someone sooner or later. Even if you point the weapon in the air, sooner or later, the bullet will come down.

The cop shop is less than 50 metres away.

I used to shoot long distance with a revolver... it all depends what's up the spout.

An even stronger possibility is that you didn't read the article in full.

Not necessarily, the bullet has to hit someone and that does not always happen!

Accidentally? How do they know? The unknown man fired live ammunition in the street and aimed the gun at the security guard (No matter how far away) he is guilty of wounding with intent at the very least
