Pol Lt Surachet Chotreuangnapha of the Muang Nakhon Sri Thammarat police said he was called to a shooting incident at a two story house in Pak Nakhon sub-district of the southern Thailand province on Tuesday night, reported Daily News.

 

In an upstairs bedroom they found a two year old girl dead in a pool of blood. She had been shot in the right eye with the bullet exiting at the nape of the neck.

 

Also shot in the head was an unnamed 31 year old man, the little girl's father. He was rushed to hospital and is in a coma in critical condition with a bullet lodged in his brain.

 

Forensics were at the scene and had taken gunshot residue tests from the hands of both the father and wife who were present.

 

There was evidence of several shots having been fired and a 9 mm gun was retrieved. 

 

The wife and mother told investigators that her husband had invited relatives over for a birthday party and they were all drinking.

 

At one point their two year old daughter had asked her father for a mobile phone to look at before she went to sleep but he couldn't locate it.

 

The wife criticized him for caring only about drinking and not their child and an argument ensued.

 

He followed her up the stairs and took aim at her in a second floor bedroom.

 

Instead of hitting her he hit their daughter then turned the gun on himself, she said.

 

Investigations continue into other details of the tragic case.

Ask the many every year in US. Poor, well meaning fools who think having a gun will "keep their family safe". Their child killed playing with it.

 

Too bad this guy just didn't off himself instead.

And where did it say the child was playing with a gun?

May be , after all , they are right to ban alcohol . Should be banned for Thais .

Would be good to ban guns , too .

But they want to have guns in the case somebody makes them lose their face ...

Anyway , most private guns are illegal I think .

No way to ban them as long as somebody makes money selling or fabricating them .

No, hope he will live and carry the pain for the rest of his life.
