泰国暖武里府一所高中7日上午发生严重枪击事件，造成9人死亡、30多人受伤[3]。据报道，枪手是一名14岁初中生，在开枪前不久刚在家中枪杀了自己的祖父母[2]。这名少年使用祖父的枪支在Debsirin Nonthaburi学校开枪[3]，上午10时左右开始射击[2]，随后自杀身亡[2]。
遇难者中包括一名12岁女学生，她因枪击伤势严重于8日不治身亡[2][3]。枪手至少开枪26发，携带34发子弹[3]。学校被封锁约30分钟[3]，事件发生后仍有14人住院治疗[2]，其中7人情况危急[3]。
泰国警方于8日问询多名师生[2]，并于9日召开新闻发布会通报初步调查结果[2]。泰国总理随后表态，将推行新的枪支法律，只有当值的政府官员才被允许携带枪支[3]。
A fourteen-year-old student opened fire at Debsirin Nonthaburi school in Nonthaburi province northwest of Bangkok on Friday, killing nine people and injuring more than thirty others before taking his own life [2][3]. The gunman, a junior high school student, used his grandfather's firearm to carry out the attack, firing at least twenty-six rounds from a magazine containing thirty-four bullets [3]. Among the victims was a twelve-year-old girl who died from severe gunshot wounds on Saturday [3]. Fourteen people were hospitalized following the incident, with seven in critical condition [3].
Prior to the school shooting, the fourteen-year-old murdered his grandparents at home before proceeding to the school around 10 a.m. to carry out the attack [2]. Police locked down the campus for approximately thirty minutes during the incident [3]. Authorities questioned multiple teachers and students on August 8 and announced initial investigation findings at a press conference on August 9 [2].
In response to the shooting, Thailand's prime minister pledged to implement new gun legislation, stating that "only government officials on duty would be allowed to carry guns" [3]. Thailand has the highest rate of civilian gun ownership in Southeast Asia and ranked thirteenth globally in 2017 [3].
