Sanook Thai Caption: Enough of the hijinks already - stop this

 

Sanook reported on a Facebook post video that showed around ten young people fighting with guns in Bang Bua Thong, Nonthaburi.

 

Reporters went to Tessaban Soi 7 (Soi Phat Thai) in Son Loi sub-district where the violence occurred among teens who arrived on motorcycles, three to each bike. 

 

They had been armed with guns and knives.

 

They attacked people from a rival group in a house.

 

One 15 year old was shot in the right cheek and taken to hospital. It happened on Wednesday at 4.45 pm.

 

A witness reported being in a beauty salon around 4 pm when the rival group arrived on 2-3 bikes. 

 

After an initial conversation a plant pot was grabbed and a shot rang out.

 

Police didn't arrive until an hour later. 

 

The witness said it was a frightening incident, there were many young people in the salon. 

 

The owner of the house said that young people had gathered there before going home before the other armed group arrived. 

 

Bang Bua Thong police are gathering evidence and investigating.
