A shooting at Or Tor Kor Market in Bangkok’s Bang Sue district has left five security guards dead, one injured, and a suspect who took his own life, police said on Monday.
The incident occurred at 12:31pm local time. The victims were all security personnel working at the market. Police are investigating the motive behind the shooting and have identified the deceased suspects as security guards.
The suspected perpetrator was seen in surveillance footage wearing a black T-shirt, camouflage shorts, and a backpack. Police are working to identify him and are looking into possible links to the current border clashes between Thailand and Cambodia.
Gun violence is common in Thailand, with the country experiencing several incidents of shootings in recent years. In 2020, a junior army officer killed 29 people and wounded 58 in a shooting rampage in Nakhon Ratchasima.
