BANGKOK (Reuters): Authorities in Thailand charged a 14-year-old boy with premeditated murder and illegal possession of a firearm on Wednesday (Oct 4) after a shooting spree at a Bangkok mall using what police said was a modified pistol intended to fire blanks.
The country’s prime minister vowed “preventive measures” after a shooting at a Bangkok shopping mall left two people dead and raised fresh questions about the kingdom’s gun control.
Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin joined a minute’s silence at the mall before offering the government’s condolences to the families of the two female victims –one Chinese and one from Myanmar. Police arrested a 14-year-old suspect, a student at a US$4,000 -a-term private school just metres from Siam Paragon.
China is vital to that effort as the biggest source of foreign visitors to Thailand in pre-Covid years. “We need to improve security in all areas for Thai and foreign tourists,” she told reporters without outlining any specific steps.The Siam Paragon shooting came just days before the anniversary of a massacre at a nursery in northern Thailand that left 36 people dead.
Many firearms are smuggled into the country, but Kritsanapong Phutrakul, a former police officer and now an academic, said Internet sales were becoming a problem.
