An altercation between teenagers at 21.30 on October 2, in Samut Prakan ended in a violent attack involving automatic weapons, leaving one dead and four injured. The incident occurred on Sriwareenoi Road in Srisajorrakhenoi Subdistrict, Bang Sao Thong District.

 

Police from the Bang Sao Thong Police Station responded to the scene, finding a white Toyota sedan riddled with more than 30 bullet holes. The driver, later identified as Mr. Praphot, was found unresponsive. Despite efforts by emergency personnel to revive him, he was pronounced dead at the scene. Among the injured were one woman and three men, who were promptly taken to the hospital for emergency treatment.

 

 

Eyewitnesses reported that the two groups had exchanged gunfire while driving along the road. The Toyota’s rear tyres were shot out, immobilising the car before gunmen from another vehicle fired repeatedly, leaving bullet casings scattered across the scene. 9mm handgun and assault rifle shells were found, prompting authorities to cordon off the area for further forensic investigation.

 

A witness recounted that the attack appeared to stem from an unresolved dispute. It’s believed that the victim’s group, consisting of seven individuals in two vehicles, had planned to meet with the other group to settle a disagreement. However, the situation quickly escalated into gunfire before any discussion could occur.

 

Authorities are continuing their investigation to determine the motive behind the attack.

These meetings never seem to end well.

"Automatic weapons"! Where did they get those?

This doesn't sound much like a teen dispute.  It's more like a gang hit.

The local army base resellers?

Some folk need to spend some more time on the range 30 hits on a vehicle!
