Two killed, four injured in Bangkok street fight
By The Nation

 

BANGKOK: -- Two people were killed and three injured in a deadly gunfight between rival gangs on Soi Pracha Uthit 9 in Bangkok’s Thung Khuru district late on Tuesday.

 

Police quoted eyewitnesses as saying they saw three motorcycles involved in a chase in the soi at around 11pm before they stopped and started fighting, culminating in the shootings.

 

Pol Colonel Chusak Techarakpong, commander of Metropolitan Police Division 8, said Chaiwut Nisaisuk, 31, died at the scene near his motorcycle with a bullet wound on his chest. 

 

Chusak said four teenagers were injured and rushed to the Prachapat Hospital after the shooting. They were identified as Natthawut Daengdee, 19, Thanawat Chaemket, 20, Boritak Rujjariyanuchit, 22, and Natthawut Sinsetthi, 18.

 

Natthawut, who was shot nine times, died at the hospital.

 

Booncherd Nisaisuk, 53, the mother of Chaiwut, said she heard the teenagers shouting in front of her house, which was followed by gunfire. 

 

Booncherd said her son left the house abruptly after hearing the gunshots.

 

Chusak said police had learned that Chaiwut had picked up a friend at a snooker parlour. The friend has yet to be identified and is suspected to be on the run. 

 

The two then encountered the rival gang on two motorcycles and engaged in a gunfight, Chusak said.

Excellent, shame they are not all dead - the problem with this happening in public streets is that innocent bystanders may get injured

[edwinchester]

Do the journalists at The Nation actually know what a teenager is?

[DLang]

Probably go to different Technical Colleges.

 

Or did, at least.

Live by the gun; die by the gun.  A wonderful epitaph.

 Same as when they often refer to 20 something women as girls.

 

Math isn't a strong suit, here.

"Natthawut, who was shot nine times, died at the hospital."

For which all were obviously prepared.

The gun carrying culture is alive and well,

belonging to a gang must have great magnetism, that strips all commonsense from the brain

that no thought about concequences and personal safety, registers,

I guess very hard to register when the brains concerned are the size of a PEA!

And so it goes on.... SICKENING!!

Chusak said four teenagers were injured and rushed to the Prachapat Hospital after the shooting. They were identified as Natthawut Daengdee, 19, Thanawat Chaemket, 20, Boritak Rujjariyanuchit, 22, and Natthawut Sinsetthi, 18.

 

Natthawut, who was shot nine times, died at the hospital.

And the other Natthawut survived.

And no doubt one of those cowboys has a policeman in the family who gave them their guns.

Imagine being Asian (Thai esp) and part of a gang would magnify the need to gain and preserve face exponentially. I don't want to insult monkeys, but...

They might actually be on point if they are referring to the mental age and not the physical age.
