Another mass shooting occurred in the Isaan province of Nong Bua Lamphu today, November 27, claiming four lives in the Si Bun Rueang district. The gunman is currently at large, reportedly fleeing the scene on a blue motocross motorcycle.

 

The official Facebook page of the Narresuan Rescue Association reported the shocking incident in the Ban Fai Hin community, located in the Non Mueang sub-district, Si Bun Rueang district, at approximately 8am Initially, three people were confirmed dead, with one person injured.

The gunman was identified as Samart or Mang, a 57 year old resident of the Ban Jod community. He was last seen leaving the scene on a blue motocross motorcycle. At the time of the shooting, Samart was wearing a dark blue shirt, a black jacket, and long trousers.

 

The rescue team also shared footage of the incident. It showed Samart approaching a man in a white T-shirt who was sweeping the road and immediately shooting him. Samart then calmly walked away from the body, placing the gun inside his trousers.

Rescuers confirmed that three victims died, although Matichon reported four fatalities. The exact number of victims has yet to be confirmed by official sources.

 

The gunman is reportedly a drug addict and is believed to have fled towards Na Klang district.

This tragic shooting echoes a previous incident in October last year, which also took place in Na Klang district. In that case, 38 people, including the gunman, lost their lives. Among the victims were young children from a daycare centre.

The perpetrator of last year’s shooting was a former police officer with a history of drug use. After the mass killing, he returned home, where he murdered his wife and child before taking his own life.

 

This latest incident is considered one of the deadliest mass shootings in Thai history, alongside the attack at Terminal 21 shopping mall in the Isaan province of Nakhon Ratchasima, also known as Korat in 2020.

Manhunt Underway After Drug-Fueled Shooting Spree Leaves 3 Dead in Nong Bua Lamphu

 

 

A man identified as Samart, 57, went on a shooting rampage in Sri Bunruang District early morning on November 27, killing four people, including a father and son, and a village volunteer. Police have launched a massive manhunt to capture the suspect, who remains at large and is considered armed and dangerous.

 

The violence began at 07:00 in Ban Fai Hin, Non Muang Subdistrict, where Samart, reportedly under the influence of drugs, shot and killed a father and his son. The father died at the scene, while the son succumbed to injuries at the hospital. The suspect then fled on a blue modified motorcycle, traveling two kilometres to Takhian Thong Village, where he shot and killed a village volunteer who was sweeping the road.

 

Initial investigations reveal that the motive for the first killings stemmed from a financial dispute. Samart had reportedly taken an ATM card belonging to the father to withdraw a 10,000-baht disability welfare payment without permission. When the victim discovered the money was missing, he reported the theft to Sri Bunruang Police Station and was scheduled to confront the suspect in a mediated discussion later on November 27.

 

Instead, Samart arrived at the victim's home armed with a gun, shooting both the father and son before fleeing. He then targeted the volunteer, who had previously been involved in apprehending Samart for stealing items while scavenging for scrap.

 

Authorities reported at 10.30 on November 27, that armed officers had the suspect surrounded in a rubber plantation.

It's always terrible to hear about something like this, the silver lining is that these mass shootings are relatively infrequent here in Thailand, unlike in America, where they happen almost daily. However America seems to have more of a fascination with violence, guns are very easy to acquire and there are a lot of very insane people running around.

No loss, and if he hasn't - trust he is assisted immediately.

I've said it many times before. Guns and other deadly weapons in public warrant a 10 year prison sentence The use of such weapons, or threatened use - regardless of the outcome -should carry a death sentence

You better look around, this behavior is growing in Thailand and guns are a fascination, just look at the Thai soap operas. 

 

Just look at every single Tesco's or Big-C mall....    amongst the phone stalls are weapons stalls, knucledusters, flick-knives, daggers etc... its ridiculous.

Off topic posts and replies trolling about gun violence in the USA have been removed.
