Today morning, a deadly shootout occurred in a Chon Buri neighbourhood near the Wat Nong Tamlueng temple, leaving one person dead and causing significant property damage. The altercation stemmed from an unresolved dispute between two local families.

 

Police were alerted to the incident at 3:30am and promptly arrived on the scene to find a 40 year old ice factory owner named Anon deceased. Anon had sustained four gunshot wounds to his head, neck, and chest. Officers found an 11mm pistol with bullets in the magazine and over ten unfired bullet casings belonging to 9mm and 11mm weapons scattered nearby. The surrounding area also presented evidence of a fierce gunfight, with substantial damage to a concrete wall from the barrage of bullets.

 

Anon’s brother Ekachai explained that Anon had a conflict with the suspect’s son named Team in recent days. The two had attempted to resolve the issue but failed to reach an agreement. Team had called Anon to arrange a final resolution. Initially, Anon resisted meeting with Team but eventually gave in due to the mounting pressure.

So both took guns to a meeting.... well that was going to end badly for sure.

A common practice for solving problems together with others.
