Police with itchy fingers don't even come close to describe the attitude of the Thai police when the opportunity is there to open fire, let the criminals beware...

Thought a .38 only had 5 or 6 chambers. Must have reloaded.

Absolutely not, they will rarely fire if not fired upon.

Agree but I wouldn't be surprised if the 'shot' was discharged mm away rather than meters. In any event the right result!

One lucky shot by the sounds of it... but it found the mark which is a good thing.

I have another way for them if they catch them. Make them take all the drugs they are carrying and if in the morning they are ok, a cup of coffee on they are free to go.
