A school shooting in Thailand's Nonthaburi province on Friday (Aug. 7) left seven people dead, including the gunman, and 15 others injured, authorities said. The attacker later died by suicide.
The province's disaster prevention and mitigation office confirmed that the shooting killed seven people and injured 15 others, two of whom were seriously wounded.
An 18-year-old student described the incident to Reuters.
"At first, I didn't realize it was gunfire. I thought someone was setting off firecrackers or banging on something. There were so many loud bangs. Then it went quiet. Then it started again," the student said.
The shooting took place at Debsirin Nonthaburi School, located northwest of Bangkok.
According to local authorities, the school had about 3,100 students and 147 teachers during the 2025 academic year.
