A 15-year-old student opened fire at a school in Thailand, killing at least nine people and leaving seven others seriously injured, according to reports from La Voz de Galicia and other outlets.
The shooting took place at a school north of Bangkok, with initial reports from La Voz de Galicia putting the death toll at six. Subsequent reporting from ABC and 20Minutos raised the number to eight after a wounded student died, and LaSexta later confirmed the toll had reached nine following the death of another female student.
The attacker, a student at the school, was taken into custody, according to El Confidencial. The outlet also reported that the suspect's grandparents were found dead and that investigators discovered evidence on his computer, though the nature of that evidence was not specified in the available reporting.
The incident has drawn attention to school safety in Thailand, where gun violence in educational settings has occurred before. The reports did not provide a motive for the attack, and authorities have not publicly commented on a possible reason.
The seven injured students remain in serious condition, according to ABC's reporting. Their current status has not been updated in the available material.
As the investigation continues, authorities are expected to examine the suspect's background and the contents of his computer to determine what led to the attack. The death toll may also change if any of the injured students do not survive their wounds.
