2026年8月7日上午，泰国暖武里府一名14岁初中生在德普西林中学持枪射击，造成校园血案[1]。该学生开枪26发，最终导致包括凶手自杀和送医后抢救无效人员在内共9人死亡，14人住院治疗[1]。据悉，凶手先在家中枪杀祖父母，随后持该枪支来到学校作案[1]。作案枪支为CZ-75 Compact型9毫米手枪，登记在凶手祖父名下，凶手携带近百发子弹[1]。凶手与父母长期分居，已同祖父母生活了十二年[1]。
仅三日后的8月10日，暖武里府再次发生枪击案[1]。71岁泰国前议员差隆·里埃朗开枪击中暖武里府行政组织主席通猜·延巴色的头部，后者伤重不治身亡[1]。四日内两起枪击案件引发泰国社会对枪支管控的广泛关注[1]。泰国政府随即做出回应，于8月11日在官方网站发布公告，宣布暂停发放购枪许可证，并在全国范围内核查尚未完成的枪支交易许可证[1]。
根据统计，截至2023年，泰国登记在册的私人枪支约为620万支，此外社会上还流散着约400万支未登记的非法枪支[1]。
A 14-year-old student opened fire at Derpsilin Middle School in Nonthaburi Province, Thailand on August 7, 2026, resulting in nine deaths including the shooter and one person who died after hospitalization, with 14 others hospitalized for treatment [1]. The teenager fired 26 rounds and had killed his grandparents at home before arriving at the school; the registered owner of the CZ-75 Compact 9mm handgun used was his grandfather, and the shooter carried nearly 100 rounds of ammunition [1]. The perpetrator had lived separately from his parents and resided with his grandparents for twelve years [1].
Three days later, on August 10, a former lawmaker carried out a second shooting. Seventy-one-year-old Chalong Riaengprut shot Thonchai Yanbrasert, chairman of the Nonthaburi provincial administration organization, in the head; Yanbrasert died from his injuries [1]. These two incidents within four days triggered nationwide debate in Thailand over firearm regulations [1]. In response, the Thai government announced on August 11, 2026 that it would suspend the issuance of new gun purchase licenses and conduct a comprehensive nationwide review of outstanding permits for firearm transactions not yet completed [1].
The incidents underscored existing concerns about gun proliferation in Thailand, where approximately 6.2 million firearms were officially registered as of 2023, while another roughly 4 million unlicensed illegal guns circulated in society [1].
