Naew Na Thai Caption: Terrifying moment - Shots fired at rival in Bang Bua Thong. Put in the pic of the pointing at the booth too please. 

 

Naew Na reported on a late night incident at the Bang Bua Thong market in Nonthaburi when a rival group fired shots killing a man and injuring two seriously. 

 

They termed it "the moment of execution".

 

The incident happened as two rival groups of hoodlums on motorcycles met by chance. 

 

Some one was heard to shout: "Do you fuc@ers know Offline Bang Bua Thong?"

 

Then the guns came out.

It happened on the Bang Kruay - Sai Noi road in front of Thessaban Wat Laharn school at 1 am yesterday, Friday.

 

A local noodle vendor called Baitong, 52, told reporters there were quite a lot of customers in his shop at the time. 

 

"Me and my customers had to run and hide fearing we'd be struck by stray bullets," he said. 

 

No policeman was in the booth nearby. So he called the cops and waited for rescue services for the three injured people, one of whom later died. 

 

He reported continual trouble in the area. In a recent stabbing incident the CCTV was found to not be working.

Taxi driver Sompong, 65, said his cab was hit by gunfire and he had given evidence to the police. He'd stopped for some late night noodles. 

 

He said he was forced to take cover behind his vehicle. Two shots smashed the driver's window and another one hit his cab too. 

 

Bang Bua Thong police said that "Off" who was attacked was a local gangster who thought he was a Mr Big in the area. 

 

He appeared to be the man in the "offline" statement, made after he removed his helmet as the rival group arrived. 

 

He died in the incident.

 

Police are preparing evidence and arrest warrants.

 

One man was seen pointing at a bullet hole apparently in the unmanned police booth.
