Four Killed in Georgia High School Shooting, 14-Year-Old Arrested
A tragic shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Barrow County, Georgia, has left four people dead and nine others injured. On Wednesday, a 14-year-old student named Colt Gray allegedly opened fire on the school campus, claiming the lives of two students and two teachers. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation confirmed the deaths and reported that Gray has been taken into custody and will face murder charges as an adult. Local authorities responded swiftly to the incident, with Sheriff Jud Smith describing the attack as "pure evil." The first reports of gunfire at the school, which houses around 1,900 students, were received at approximately 10:20 AM local time. Law enforcement officers, including two school resource officers, arrived at the scene within minutes and quickly confronted the suspect. Sheriff Smith explained, "The subject immediately surrendered. He gave up, got on the ground. And the officers took him into custody." Despite the rapid response, the motive behind the shooting remains unclear, with officials stating, "We don’t know of any targets at this point." Details surrounding the weapon used and the number of bullets fired have not been disclosed. Sheriff Smith emphasized the complexity of the investigation, noting, "This is going to take multiple days for us to get answers as to what happened and why this happened." The school was placed on lockdown as dozens of police officers arrived on the scene. Students were eventually released to their families after the campus was secured. The horror of the event was vividly described by Alexsandra Romero, a second-year student, who recalled the chaos in her classroom as the shooting unfolded. "I can just remember my hands were shaking," she told the *Atlanta Journal-Constitution*. "I felt bad because everybody was crying, everybody was trying to find their siblings. I can still picture everything, like the blood, the shouting..." The tragedy has drawn reactions from state and national leaders. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp expressed his concern on social media, stating that he was "praying for the safety of those in our classrooms" and directing "all available state resources" to assist in the aftermath. President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden also released a statement, mourning the loss of lives to what the President called "more senseless gun violence." He lamented, "What should have been a joyous back-to-school season in Winder, Georgia, has now turned into another horrific reminder of how gun violence continues to tear our communities apart." Vice-President Kamala Harris, speaking at a campaign rally in New Hampshire, condemned the shooting as "a senseless tragedy" and criticized the ongoing threat of gun violence in American schools. "It's just outrageous that every day in our country... that parents have to send their children to school worried about whether their child will come home alive," she said. "It doesn't have to be this way." Attorney General Merrick Garland also offered his condolences, stating, "I'm devastated for the families who have been affected by this terrible tragedy." He confirmed that federal agents are aiding the investigation as the community grapples with the devastating loss. This tragic incident serves as a stark reminder of the persistent and alarming issue of gun violence in the United States, particularly in places where children should feel safe—like their schools. The community of Winder, Georgia, is now left to mourn the lives lost and to seek answers in the face of such senseless violence.

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
The two main factors that determine whether something that should be done, does get done, include the effort required and the financial reward. Chasing teenagers on motorbikes in the hot sun, in order to fine them 300 baht for not wearing a helmet, doesn't compare to sitting behind a desk in an airconditioned office, looking at a computer printout of bank deposits by customer, supplied by BOT and then picking up a telephone and calling that person or an investigator to initiate an audit that could result in fines of tens of thousands of baht. -

50 Year Old Woman Falls from 40m Cliff While Foraging for Bamboo Shoots in Kanchanaburi
Picture courtesy of Khoasod. A 50-year-old woman suffered severe injuries after falling from a 40 metre cliff while foraging for bamboo shoots on a mountain in Sai Yok District, on September 4. Rescuers spent over 30 minutes trekking through dense forest to reach the woman, who had become separated from her husband before the fall. At approximately 14:30, the Phitak Kan Foundation received a report of an individual falling from a cliff near the Military Development Command Learning Centre in Phu Lad Village, Moo 11, Tha Sao Subdistrict, Sai Yok District, Kanchanaburi Province. A team of more than 20 rescue volunteers was dispatched, equipped with hiking and rescue gear to assist in the operation, as the location was deep within the mountainous terrain. Upon reaching the site, rescuers encountered a steep and rocky path covered with dense vegetation, making the trek challenging. After a 30 minute hike, they arrived at the scene, where they found the injured woman stranded on a rocky ledge about 40 metres down the cliff. Due to the treacherous incline, it was impossible to access her on foot, forcing the rescuers to rappel down to reach her. Initial assessments revealed that the victim, identified as Apantip Duangsung, had likely sustained a spinal injury, rendering her immobile. The rescue team carefully secured her to a spine board before hauling her up from the cliff. Despite the rugged conditions, the team successfully transported her down the mountain and rushed her to hospital for urgent medical attention. The woman's husband recounted that he and his wife, both residents of Mueang District, Kanchanaburi, had traveled to visit relatives in Sai Yok. Earlier that day, they decided to hike up the mountain to forage for bamboo shoots. While exploring the area, they became separated, and unfamiliar with the terrain, his wife unknowingly ventured toward a concealed cliff edge, obscured by tall grass and trees, leading to her fall. Upon hearing her cries for help, he quickly rushed to the scene and called the authorities for assistance. Thanks to the swift actions of the rescue team, the woman was successfully retrieved from the dangerous area and is now receiving medical care. -- 2024-09-05 Get the ASEAN NOW daily NEWSLETTER - Click HERE to subscribe -

Rising Toll: 16,000 Russian Soldiers Killed in Ukraine Since April
I think these numbers are about as credible as when the BBC and British Ministry of Defence guaranteed that there were WMD in Iraq. Unfortunately the Ukrainians are severely outgunned. If there were 16k Russian soldiers killed since April then Ukrainian soldiers killed are probably in the six figures since that time. -

So long as it is not an overly lengthy and onerous process I support it. It may help in quelling the number of undesirables making their way here. Time will tell. -
