Residents in the Thai province of Prachinburi faced a near-tragic event on June 26, when a mysterious bullet pierced a window of a home in the small village of Ban Na.

 

The bullet’s path aligned directly with the head of a young girl running playfully inside the house at the time of the incident.

 

Thiphat, the occupant of the house, captured attention when she posted a photo of the bullet-riddled window on Facebook, vocalising her outrage at this reckless act. According to her, the mysterious bullet event unfolded around 7.15pm as she prepared dinner and her children were playing at home. On hearing a sound akin to shattered glass, she walked around investigating the source and discovered her window bearing the tragic signs of a gunshot.

 

“No matter how annoyed you are at a person or dog, or you’re panicked, you shouldn’t do this. There are kids playing in the house, what if it had hit the child’s head? I don’t even want to think about it.” Thiphat had written in her caption under the Facebook post.
