Muang Bung Kan police in NE Thailand were called after a shooting incident between rival groups at a Songkran merit-making event in Khon Kong sub-district.

 

It happened during some country singing - Mor Lam - that had to be curtailed as shots rang out.

 

A 33 year old woman and a 16 year old child were hit initially and as the trouble intensified Thossaporn Saenglaek, 23, was killed.

 

Siam Rath reported that the shooting was trouble between rival groups from Khok Kong and Na Sai villages.

Ten people involved have been interviewed by the Muang district police.

 

The elder sister of the deceased man said he had got caught up in the trouble after friends had told him about the fighting and he had rushed to the scene only to be shot on the way.
