Student Opens Fire at Thai High School, Casualties Reported (2026-08-07)
A student opened fire at a high school in Thailand's Nonthaburi province, causing deaths and injuries. The shooter remains inside the school.
Police in Thailand are responding to a shooting at a high school in Nonthaburi province, where multiple casualties have been reported. The incident took place on Friday at the Debsirin Nonthaburi School, located northwest of Bangkok.
Royal Thai Police spokesperson Trairong Piwpan confirmed the shooting, while Arsit Sampantharat, permanent secretary for the Interior Ministry, told local broadcaster PPTV that the suspected shooter is a student who remains inside the school premises. Officials have confirmed both deaths and injuries but have not yet released specific figures or further details.
Emotional scenes unfolded outside the school as students, including a visibly distressed schoolgirl, gathered in the aftermath. Photographs from the scene show crowds assembling near the campus as authorities managed the situation.
The incident brings renewed attention to school safety in Thailand. In February, a 17-year-old stole a police firearm and attacked a public high school in the country's south, holding hostages for two hours and killing one person while injuring two others.
