Seven ‌people were killed ​in a school shooting ​in ⁠Thailand on ‌Friday, ‌including ​the ⁠gunman, and 15 ​people ​were ‌wounded, Thai ​national police ⁠spokesperson Trairong ⁠Phiwphan ​said.

The gunman shot and killed grandparents at their home before opening fire at school.

The incident took place in the Bang Kruai district of Nonthaburi province north of Bangkok. Police identified the perpetrator as a student.

In photos circulated by emergency workers, students streamed out of the Debsirin Nonthaburi School, on the northwestern outskirts of Bangkok, as ambulances operated. In one photo, one person is seen lying down on a stretcher outside an ambulance, while another is attended to by a medic.

In the 2025 academic year, the school had an enrollment of around 3,100 students and 147 teachers, according to district authorities.

In February a teacher died and a student was injured in southern Thailand‘s Hat Yai district after a gunman opened fire at a school.
