A shooting at a school in Thailand left at least five people dead and more than 20 injured, according to reports. All five of the dead were school staff members, and 10 of the injured were in critical condition.
The suspect, described in local media photos as wearing a purple school uniform and carrying a black cross-body bag, opened fire on the school grounds. Several bullet casings were visible on the ground in the images.
Thailand's prime minister said the shooter was believed to have been "under stress" at the time of the attack, though no further details about the motive were provided. Authorities have not named the suspect publicly.
The incident took place during the school day, and emergency responders took the injured to nearby hospitals. The condition of the wounded varied, with a significant number listed in critical condition.
The shooting has shaken the local community, and officials have pledged a full investigation into what led to the attack. Police did not immediately provide a timeline of events or say whether the suspect had a prior relationship with the school.
This is one of the deadliest school shootings in Thailand in recent years. The country has strict gun laws but has seen periodic violent incidents. Authorities urged the public to remain calm as they continued to gather details. The investigation is ongoing, and no arrest has been formally announced in the reports.
