A brutal and calculated shooting spree has left two men dead and hospital staff and patients in fear, after a gunman dressed as a food delivery rider opened fire on a group of men drinking together, then followed the victims to hospital and shot them again.

 

The incident began at 22:25 on 4 June, when police at Lat Lum Kaeo Station received a report of a shooting at house number 129/15 in Moo 4, Rahan Subdistrict, Pathum Thani province.

 

According to eyewitnesses, the assailant, disguised in a green delivery rider’s jacket, arrived on a white Honda Wave motorcycle and asked the group if anyone had ordered food. Upon receiving a negative response, he pulled out a firearm and opened fire on the group of six men, emptying two magazines. The sudden barrage left two individuals critically injured.

 

As the victims were being rushed to Lat Lum Kaeo Hospital in a red Isuzu pickup truck, the attacker followed closely behind. When the vehicle arrived at the hospital entrance, the gunman opened fire again in full view of medical staff, patients and visitors. Panic ensued as bullets sprayed across the hospital grounds, even shattering the glass of the outpatient department and penetrating a nearby patient room, though no one inside was injured.

 

Two men were killed in the attack:

 

• Mr. Mana Sisang, 32, a firefighter with Rahan Municipality, sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the torso and head.

 

• Mr. Narin Asa, 32, who worked in the mortuary at Pathum Thani Hospital, was also fatally shot in the body and head.

 

The gunman fled the scene immediately after the second attack. Authorities recovered over a dozen shell casings at the hospital entrance and additional evidence near the victims’ vehicle, which sustained multiple bullet holes.

 

One witness, Mr. Watthanapong, 44, a volunteer with the Poh Teck Tung Foundation, described seeing the pickup truck arrive at the hospital followed by a motorcycle. “The man wearing a Line Man rider’s jacket opened fire without hesitation,” he said. “There were so many people here. Everyone was screaming and running for their lives.”

 

The driver of the pickup truck, Mr. Wirat, 33, said the group regularly gathered to drink outside his house. “He just rode in like a food delivery man and asked if we ordered something. We said no, and he started shooting without warning. It was chaos. We had no idea who had been hit at first,” he said. After rushing the wounded to hospital, the gunman was waiting and opened fire again, injuring the already wounded further.

 

Mr. Somsak Chonnayom, 42, the village head, confirmed that the location was a regular social spot and had never previously seen violence. “I heard shots and a woman ran to my house telling me not to go out, that the man was still shooting. I saw him wearing a helmet and delivery jacket, firing relentlessly. I had to hide.”

 

Police are now treating the case as murder and are investigating a possible motive, with initial theories suggesting a personal dispute, possibly involving a love triangle. Forensics teams from the Ministry of Justice are analysing the evidence, while witnesses are being questioned in an effort to track down the killer.

A man has been arrested after carrying out a double shooting in Lat Lum Kaeo district, Pathum Thani, including a shocking follow-up attack at a hospital. The incident has left two men dead and shaken the local community.

 

The violence began at approximately 22:30 on 4 June when the gunman, wearing a delivery service uniform, approached a group of men drinking in an alley near a fertiliser warehouse in Moo 4, Rahaeng subdistrict. According to witnesses, the man casually asked, “Did anyone order food?” before suddenly pulling out a firearm and opening fire into the group.

 

Two men were seriously wounded in the initial shooting. As the victims were being rushed to Lat Lum Kaeo Hospital in a red Isuzu pickup truck, the assailant pursued them on a Honda Wave 125i motorcycle. Upon arrival at the hospital, he opened fire again at the vehicle and hospital entrance, terrifying medical staff and visitors. The injured men later succumbed to their wounds.

 

Police investigators found numerous spent shell casings at both the alley and hospital scenes. The hospital’s patient building was struck by bullets, with one round shattering a window near a patient’s bed. Bloodstains were found in the truck’s rear cabin, which had also been riddled with bullets.

 

The deceased were identified as Mr. Narintorn, known as Tong, aged 33 and Mr. Mana, known as Ice, also aged 33. Both had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.

 

Witnesses described a scene of chaos. A volunteer rescue worker present at the hospital said he initially mistook the gunfire for motorcycle noise before realising people were running for cover as bullets flew across the entrance. Another man, who drove the wounded men to hospital, said the group had been drinking when the shooter arrived and fired two full magazines of ammunition without warning.

 

Following the attack, senior Pathum Thani police launched a manhunt. By 06:00 on 5 June, the gunman was apprehended in Samut Prakan province. He was identified as Mr. Somyot, 32, and was found in possession of the firearm and ammunition used in the attack.

 

During interrogation, Somyot confessed to targeting Mr. Mana specifically, stating that he had discovered his wife was having an affair with the victim. He claimed to have acted in a fit of rage after drinking beer. Somyot, who works as a delivery rider, said he fled to Samut Prakan, a province he previously lived in, to hide.

 

The police continue to gather evidence and interview witnesses. Authorities condemned the brazen nature of the crime, particularly the use of deadly violence inside a hospital.

Damn that beer.  Never should have legalized it.
