At least six people have been killed and 15 others wounded in a shooting at a school in Thailand, authorities say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
National \u2060police spokesperson Trairong \u2060Phiwphan said the suspected gunman also died in the incident, which took place in Debsirin Nonthaburi School in the Bang Kruai district on the northwestern outskirts of Bangkok on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police identified the suspected perpetrator as a student. There were no further details provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Public broadcaster Thai PBS reported that three teachers and three students were killed in the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In photos circulated by emergency workers, students streamed as ambulances operated at the site. In one photo, one person is seen lying on a stretcher outside an ambulance, while another is attended to by a medic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One 18-year-old student told the Reuters news agency he initially thought there were firecrackers going off or someone banging an object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t think it was a gun at first,\u201d he said.\u201dThere were many shots: Bang bang bang. Then it went quiet. Then it started again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the 2025 academic year, the school had an enrollment of about 3,100 students and 147 teachers, according to district authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In February, a teacher was killed and a student injured in southern Thailand\u2019s Hat Yai district after a gunman opened fire at a school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
