Shooting and Hostage Situation at Patong Prathan Khiriwat School (Hat Yai)

On 11 February 2026, an 18-year-old gunman stormed Patongprathankiriwat School in Hat Yai, Songkhla province, in southern Thailand, firing shots and briefly taking students and teachers hostage in a tense standoff. Police and special operations teams surrounded the campus, evacuated those outside, and worked to secure the building. At least three people were injured — including the school director and a student — and all hostages were eventually released safely after negotiators engaged the suspect. There is an update to this story, today morning it was reported the school director has been pronounced dead. Police shot and wounded the gunman during the operation before taking him into custody. Authorities identified the suspect as a local man and said the motive is still under investigation, while emergency teams treated the wounded at nearby hospitals. The incident has shaken the community, highlighting concerns over school security and gun violence.
