Teen Kills Six in Thailand School Shooting

The teenager, described as "troubled" by a classmate, first gunned down his grandparents at their home, where he also lived, before going to Debsirin Nonthaburi School in Nonthaburi province, bordering Bangkok, on Friday. He then opened fire on the campus, killing three students and three teachers, and turned the gun on himself. Royal Thai Police spokesperson Trairong Piwpan told news broadcaster Channel 3 that the shooter was hospitalised in a critical condition, though his condition remains unverified with conflicting reports.

The motive is still under investigation, and the gun is believed to have been taken from a family member. Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul expressed condolences and said he had ordered officials to take care of the victims, calling it a terrible tragedy.
