About 100 police officers have surrounded a house in Mueang district of Phetchaburi province this afternoon (Wednesday), where a man is holding out after he allegedly shot two people dead and injured another.

 

Police have also cordoned off the Krungpetch Villa housing estate, in which the house is located.

 

The gunman has been identified by eyewitnesses as “Anuwat” and they say that he was under stress ahead of a court hearing this afternoon.

Whats going on inside heads of thai men.

Think natural to be stressed if going to testify in court.

But that "stress" is absolutely no excuse to kill other people.

Lock him up for rest of life...

Nah a couple wai's in court out in no time. 

So he pointed a gun at his neighbor,the neighbor was not having any of it

and decided to take him to court.

Today was the court hearing and because this caused the shooter stress

he decides to go kill people.

I wonder if acting this way would help his case?

Anyway how is the amnesty rule for illegal guns going?

Just unbefxxinglievable.

Many people probably wanted to tell me, "Thailand??!!?!?  That's like the Wild Wild West and you never know what will happen!!!"

 

Yes, yes, I know, but I can get noodle soup for 20 baht and negotiate a gf for 200.   If I get shot over my noodle soup, well, hope I don't get a cleaning fee.

 

I used to think Thailand was safe, now I have to hear the name of the place first.   (Note:  BKK was never safe, but "safer" than other cities I guess).   It's not like Google or the news will cover crimes near those train tracks.

why do you rabbit on without sense in your comment ?

A strange way to stay out of court.  I don't think he thought this one out.

From the link:

Witnesses claim that the gunman appears to be unstable, as he randomly fired at people in the housing estate.

 

Seems the usual in-action from local authorities has once again allowed a situation escalate to the point where people have to die before anything happens.

 

any progress or update on this one ?
