Police arrested a man suspected of being responsible for a shooting spree at Siam Paragon that injured at least one person and sending hundreds of shoppers fleeing Thailand’s most popular shopping mall in central Bangkok this afternoon. Photos posted on social media show a policeman kneeling over the suspect who was lying face down and a pistol on the floor nearby. It was not immediately clear as to how many people were injured while some news outlets reported that a security guard was wounded. Witnesses said the gunman was dressed in black shirt and wore army-style trousers but it was not known whether he had any accomplices. Video clips and photos of the suspected gunman prowling the scene after the shooting which occurred at around 4 pm were also posted on the social media as the place was evacuated. The exits toward Siam Paragon and Siam Discovery of Siam station of BTS sky-train were closed with passengers forced to use only the Siam Square exit.

Popular Post observer90210 Posted October 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2023 The horrific and tragic incident confirmed on all media sources. A 14 year old seems to be the killer on this shooting in Bangkok. It would not have attracted a second glance had it been in the USA or some major European metro. But here in Thailand....very bad image and very tragic for any potential victims. 3 10 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Hakuna Matata Posted October 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2023 Oh, Bangkok is a dangerous place to live. I used to live in Bangkok for 2 years way back in 2008-2009. Then I relocated to Isaan province. The people over here are more open and more sincere. Now I prefer a quiet life with my wife and children in the province. The hustle and bustle of Bangkok is not what I want now. 2 10 1 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Middle Aged Grouch Posted October 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) Get ready to start having to open your bags for security check even when you go to a soapy !! But we all have seen how the "security" screening works in Thailand. They mostly harass or check the bags of foreigners and never check the Thai's. This time no can put the blame on a foreigner.
