Thailand school shooting toll rises to nine after death of 12-year-old girl, police say
Officials said 14 people remain hospitalized, including seven in critical condition, as investigators examine a legally registered gun linked to the boy’s grandfather.
- On Friday, a 14-year-old student opened fire at Debsirin Nonthaburi School in Nonthaburi before taking his own life; the Thai health ministry reported Saturday that a 12-year-old girl died, raising the death toll to at least eight.
- Officials stated the shooter first killed his two grandparents at the family home earlier that morning; the compact firearm used in the attack was legally registered to the boy's grandfather.
- Fourteen people remain hospitalized following the attack, with most injured aged between 12 and 14 years old. The school suspended all classes between August 10 and 14, with staff instructed to work from home.
- Mourners laid flowers at the school gate on Saturday morning, while the administration had previously posted a Facebook message seeking blood donations for two students, including the girl who later died.
- Thailand has 15.1 guns per 100 people according to 2017 data, with firearm mortality of 3.49 deaths per 100,000 in 2023. Recent high-profile attacks involving minors have intensified pressure on authorities to address public safety.
