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.
