kuma Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 News here is a few hours ago police were chasing a group of drug dealers in central CHanthaburi City, and it carried on thru the downtown Nam Phlu market, where at least one bystander was hit by gunfire. Story still developing, apparently they have been captured at this point. If anyone else has more details please update. Ah the serenity of lovely Chan takes a hit with this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomangosteen Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 (edited) A little less dramatic, shots fired, one bystander injured (leg wound). A 27-year-old man driving a pickup truck failed to stop at a police checkpoint. Police tried to shoot the vehicle's tyres, a ricochet bullet hit the bystander, a middle-aged man. The pickup driver has since been arrested. Police found eight methamphetamine pills hidden in the driver's seat. Police have detained him at Muang Chanthaburi Police Station.

Channel 7 News Yes I see now it was not the mass casualty event it would be if it were a US city, lol, but true unfortunately imo. Still, the more sober reports that followed said he was moving thru the market zone at an elevated speed - really a bad place for that, and what a place to decide to take the shot, obvious now since a civilian was hit but hmmm. I was there today and made it thru no injuries so I guess al is back to normal, lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
