A teenage boy was left seriously injured in the early hours of 2 June, after a firearm exploded in his hands while he and a group of friends were recklessly experimenting with a gun in Bueng Kan province.

 

The incident occurred at approximately 01:30 in Ban Pa Faek, Phon Charoen district. According to a video shared by the Facebook page “Local News Bung Kan” and reposted by “Yak Dang Deaw Jad Hai Return Part 6,” a group of 4–5 teenagers were seen taking turns firing a gun when disaster struck.

 

As the third boy in the group attempted to fire the weapon, the gun unexpectedly exploded, throwing him to the ground and causing severe injuries. The disturbing video shows the victim writhing in pain on the ground while others in the group rush to his aid.

 

Due to the severity of his injuries and the lack of appropriate medical facilities in Bueng Kan, the victim was urgently transferred to Udon Thani Hospital for advanced treatment.

 

The incident serves as a stark warning about the dangers of mishandling firearms. Authorities and community leaders are urging parents to educate and closely supervise their children to prevent such life-threatening accidents.

 

Police have yet to release details about the type of weapon involved or whether any charges will be filed in connection with the incident. An investigation is ongoing.

Well he will not do that again in a hurry !

It's the influence of gansta rap again, poisoning young minds.

 

All these punks wanna be ganstas.

 

FAFO.

Am really curious where all these teens are finding guns to carry. Recently there have been many reports of them shooting openly. 

Likely a home made gun.

i heard they have some nice caves.  it's probably like S. Dakota in America.  If 99% of people tell me they have never been there, I'd believe it.  can only imagine what a "fun" Friday night looks like for adults.

Like discharging a weapon unlawfully in a public place.?
