A Thai gunman surrendered to the police after holding students and his ex-girlfriend, who is a teacher, hostage at a school in the Isaan province of Mahasarakham. Fortunately, all students and teachers emerged unharmed from the incident.

 

The gunman, whose identity remains undisclosed, broke into Ban Kwao Tung School in the Phayakkhaphum Phisai district of Mahasarakham province at about 1.30pm today, February 8. He fired one shot before going to the classroom where his ex-girlfriend was working.

 

The man then locked his girlfriend in the classroom with an unidentified number of students. Other teachers reported the matter to Phayakkhaphum Phisai Police Station and gradually moved the rest of the students out of the area for safety.

 

Police arrived at the scene and successfully persuaded the gunman to allow his girlfriend and the students to leave, aiming to resolve the situation peacefully. Despite the gunman’s initial silence, officers brought some of his family members to assist in negotiations.
