webfact Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 We wake up to the aftermath of yesterday's shooting and killing at a Bangkok shopping centre, right in the busiest part of town. The 14 year old is now in custody as Thais try and get their head around such a horrific crime and how it happened. A stadium roof collapsed last night, just before competitors were to perform underneath it, the Thai stock exchange is suffering drops as the Thai baht continues to fall against the USD. And the new Thai government is pushing ahead with promised amendments to the 2017 Thai Charter, or constitution.

Dogmatix Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 There is a lot overlooked by Tim Newton who I guess cannot read Thai and is, therefore, restricted to the limited amount of news available in English. The gun was a blank firing starting pistol modified to fire live ammunition. The shooter was not only addicted to shooting games but to shooting live ammo. The cops found a clip on his phone of him shooting his illegal gun at an army range in Bangkok, supervised by an army instructor. They found a box of 9mm "practice" ammo in his room of a type commonly sold at gun ranges. The shooting seems to be a copycat of the Columbine massacre. He dressed almost exactly the same way as Kleber. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
