A deadly shooting at Debsirin Nonthaburi School on the outskirts of Bangkok, Thailand, has left at least nine people dead, including the 14-year-old suspected gunman and his grandparents. Authorities say the teenager allegedly killed his grandparents at their home before taking his grandfather’s licensed 9mm handgun to the school, where he opened fire, primarily targeting teachers. Five teachers were killed, while more than 30 people were injured, including nine who remain in critical condition. The suspect later turned the gun on himself and died after being taken to hospital.

Students and teachers described scenes of panic as gunfire echoed through the school. Several students told reporters they witnessed teachers being shot at close range before fleeing by climbing over school fences or hiding in classrooms. Emergency responders rushed dozens of injured victims to nearby hospitals while police secured the campus and forensic teams began collecting evidence. Investigators said the gunman’s shots were unusually accurate, striking several victims in vital areas, and authorities are continuing to examine his background and possible motive.

The tragedy has once again sparked debate over gun control in Thailand, where firearms remain relatively accessible despite existing regulations. It marks the country’s second school shooting of the year, following another deadly attack in February. Political leaders have called for a comprehensive review of gun laws, while the school has suspended all activities and appealed for blood donations to support the injured. The incident has shocked the nation and renewed concerns about safety in educational institutions.
