Prachin Buri, Thailand - A man went on a violent shooting spree that left two dead and three injured, only to meet his end at the hands of bystanders. The chaos unfolded this afternoon when the gunman began his attack at a local market, sparking terror throughout the area.

 

At approximately 4 p.m., police received reports of a shooting in Tha Ngam, a subdistrict in Prachin Buri city. Responding swiftly, officers discovered a horrific scene at a petrol station near the market.

 

One person lay dead, while another was injured. It emerged that the assailant had initiated his assault by pursuing two individuals from their nearby home, ultimately confronting them at the petrol station where he opened fire, killing one and injuring another.

 

Not satisfied with the devastation already inflicted, the gunman quickly fled the scene on a motorcycle. He made his way to Chao Phraya Abhaibhubejhr Hospital, where he parked near an adjacent house.

 

From there, he proceeded to a grilled chicken shop, entering the establishment and once more unleashing a hail of bullets. This second eruption left four more individuals wounded.

The mayhem drew the attention of relatives and bystanders at the shop, who acted decisively. Outraged and determined to stop the violence, they tackled the gunman and, in a dramatic turn, fatally stabbed him, bringing his rampage to an immediate halt.

 

Tragically, one of the four individuals shot at the chicken shop later succumbed to their injuries at the hospital, raising the death toll to three, including the assailant. The identities of the victims are yet to be released by local authorities.

 

Police have identified the gunman as 38-year-old Mr. Surat (surname withheld). As investigators work to piece together his motives, it has come to light that he had previously lived in a house near the eatery he targeted and had a history of violence, including a past slashing incident at the same location, reported Thai Newsroom.

 

Community members are left reeling by this abrupt surge of violence, grasping for answers as police continue to investigate the tragic series of events. The community’s resilience and willingness to intervene played a crucial role in averting further potential casualties, illustrating both the desperation and bravery of those caught in the crossfire.

 

As the investigation continues, officials are appealing for witnesses to come forward with any information that might illuminate the gunman's motivations and any underlying issues that might have precipitated this shocking ordeal.

Seeing the knives on sale at the local market it was more likely "This is Sparta"

The instant vigilante took a knife to the gunfight and finished off the lunatic.

Salute to the Few Good Men who risked their lives to contain the situation.

Unsung Heroes of the day.

Good job, sorry for the loss of innocent bystander(s) though.

Most Thais are usually calm and gentle.

But when the situation tenses up, they often demonstrate Uncommon Valour.

As stated in their National Anthem.

 

Good job. Now his sorry arse is removed from the planet.

makes you wonder how many more guns there are stashed in peoples houses

I can imagine it was truly a  Life or Death situation.

Without those men's swift bravery, the toll must have gone further up.

I like it when Thai laws approve simple Instant Justice; allowing people to take matters into own hands in emergency.

Many parts of today's first world are sick enough to protect the criminals instead of the good people.

Righteous Defenders can be prosecuted if they harm(kill or injure) the violent aggressors.

In the West, Definition of Justice is so twisted by the Do-gooder system over protecting outlaws' human right.

 

They are useful to chop up meat and vegetables in your kitchen.

As well as Blood Thirsty Beasts  when they come for you.

One Knife saved dozens more lives from the blood thirsty murderer.

When did Thailand catch the U.S.'s gun violence germ?

Just a tip. They are not kitchen knives. 
You are in the gardening section.

Cops only need to carry the body of the murderer.

Don't have to arrest, question and prosecute that SO*

Few good men spared all that hassles on the spot.
