There's some bad Mojo at the Terminal 21 in Korat....

[Korat Kiwi]

Shot 6 times with an improvised shotgun. 

 

Wow that shooter is a quick reloader.  Single or double barrel? 

 

I doubt it was semi auto being improvised  but the shooter must have had a fair gripe to unload 6 shots.

Better going to Korat mall. 

There's nothing in terminal 21 anymore anyway.

According to the police report, Natdanai, who despite his wounds was conscious and alert, told the police that before the incident the culprit, publicly identified only as Mr. Supapornphong, a chef at Center Point Hotel, was fired as he had allegedly snuck alcoholic beverages into work 3 times.

Natdanai was the one who reported the drinking to his supervisor, causing Supapornphong to lose his job. As a result, the situation escalated; Natdanai and Supapornphong had a heated argument before Supapornphong allegedly went back to his room and brought a firearm to commit the crimes.

 

Lost his job, and now his freedom.

Absolute nonsense.... As I was within 10 meters of the incident, I can confirm there was one shot from an improvised shotgun and no mass panic, save for a few shops shuttering after they heard it was a gunshot, meanwhile people believed it was an electrical transformer or even a balloon..
