A shooting at a noodles shop in the Nonthaburi province near Bangkok resulted in the death of a groom-to-be and injury to two others. Reports suggest that the motive behind the shooting was a dispute over debt and an illegal business venture.

 

The shooting occurred at midnight at a noodles shop in the Sai Ma sub-district of Mueang district in Nonthaburi. Officers from the Bang Si Mueng Police Station arrived at the scene and discovered only broken alcohol bottles and bloodstains. The injured victims had already been sent to Phra Nang Klao Hospital.

 

The noodles shop owner, 39 year old Pairat, suffered a gunshot wound to his hip while another man, Siripong, sustained a gunshot wound to his left leg. Tragically, a 42 year old man named Manop lost his life as a result of a gunshot wound to his head. He succumbed to his injuries in hospital.

According to witnesses, two distinct groups had been dining before the altercation erupted. The air was then filled with gunshots, estimated to be between 50 to 60 rounds. The witnesses, however, were unable to determine which group initiated the confrontation.

For 1 dead and 2 wounded??? They could have done more damage with sticks!

We aren't safe anywhere at any time in Thailand, are we. Too many guns, too many mentally ill folk roaming the streets, too many fragile male egos.
