A man was apprehended by Phatthalung provincial police yesterday (Sunday) after he shot at a shopkeeper, stole a police car and tried to escape with his 11-year-old daughter, before colliding with a roadside utility pole.

 

The man’s wife told the police that her husband, 51-year-old Krirkphan, was in a drug rehabilitation program and his medication ran out two days ago, causing him to become paranoid and carry a handgun, forcing her to stay with a relative for her safety.

 

The man was reported to have left home for a grocery in the Pa Phayom sub-district, carrying a handgun. He allegedly fired one shot in the shop, prompting the owner to fire back, injuring the man who then stole a police car, which was parked unattended in the area, in an attempt to flee the scene.

Have to assume the dopey plod (who did not come running at the sound of gunfire) left the keys in it. Stopping half way during a gunfight to hot wire a car seems a bit lengthy

About 200 years ago this kind of thing used to happen in the Wild West of the USA. On a more serious note, it's a warning that we should never argue with a shopkeeper in Thailand because he might be tooled up. What a great country the Land of Smiles is.

geeeze ......  What the heck is a drug addict rehab doing with a handgun in the house.   No wonder thai shootings are a daily occurrence ....  most of them drugged or alcohol fueled addicts. 

What a screwed up place ....

seems like this "rehab" is absolute garbage.    All these words NEED clarification.   Like Rehab 0 to Rehab 100 (100 being the best/most/highest level).

 

Like my ex-wife Crazy 90 versus Falang Crazy 45.

 

Adjectives like "bad" or "worthless" still can go between ranges of like 0 to 20, not enough!!!!

 

come on English!!!!
