Thailand: at least four dead, and several injured in school shooting near Bangkok

A shooting at a high school near Bangkok has resulted in at least four deaths, including two students and two teachers, with several others injured. The shooter, who was a student, committed suicide after the incident. According to the deputy interior minister, the attack occurred at a well-known school in the Bang Kruai district of Nonthaburi province. At least 15 students were injured while trying to escape. Thailand has one of the highest rates of firearm ownership in the region, with around 10 million guns estimated to be in circulation, which has contributed to repeated mass shootings despite efforts to tighten gun laws. Similar incidents have occurred previously, such as a February 2026 shooting at another school where the director was killed and two students injured, and a 2022 massacre at a daycare center where 24 children and 12 adults were killed.
