A 12-year-old girl dies from critical wounds after a school shooting in Thailand, raising the reported death toll to nine, officials and media report. Police say the attack occurs on Friday at Debsirin Nonthaburi School in Nonthaburi province, northwest of Bangkok, at about 10 a.m., after the alleged 14-year-old shooter opens fire.
Sources report that the shooter apparently kills himself after the attack at the school. They also say he appears to have killed his two grandparents earlier that morning at the family home. By Saturday, multiple outlets cite Thailand’s Health Ministry figures indicating 14 people remain hospitalized, including seven in critical condition, with most victims reportedly aged between 12 and 14. The accounts vary slightly on the timing and whether the death toll is described as “at least eight” before the girl’s death, but they converge on the same incident details and the rising toll. Reporting also notes the school had posted a message seeking blood donations for students, including the girl who later dies.
