A 12-year-old girl dies from critical wounds after a school shooting in Thailand, raising the reported death toll from the attack to nine. The shooting occurs at Debsirin Nonthaburi School in Nonthaburi province, northwest of Bangkok, on Friday around 10am.
Multiple reports say the suspect, a 14-year-old pupil, also kills his two grandparents at his family home earlier that morning. He then opens fire at the school and appears to take his own life afterward. On Saturday, Thai authorities report additional details about those injured, including ongoing hospital care.
Channel NewsAsia and other outlets report that several people remain hospitalised, with some in critical condition, citing Thailand’s Health Ministry. The Washington Times frames the toll as at least eight before the girl’s death, while the South China Morning Post and CNA report nine fatalities after she dies. The accounts agree on the key timeline and location, but differ in how they describe the toll at different points as information is updated.
