Is it happening at the shopping mall? So scary
This is so sad

It is illegal to own a firearm in Thailand without licensing. However illegal firearms are smuggled or even openly sold on Facebook Marketplace. Thailand has the 2nd highest incidence of gun violence related death in the world after the US. These are usually not reported internationally but it's real and the victims are usually women and children. Domestic violence almost always end in tragedy and guns are the weapon of choice. Smuggled, stolen or home made guns are carried illegally and they're often resorted to when a dispute turns ugly.
"Thailand has the 2nd highest incidence of gun violence related death in the world after the US"
I will have to call out on this statement, there is no way Thailand could surpass Mexico and Brazil in fire-arm related morbidity. Even when counting death per 100k population, Thailand is still in 26th or 27th place
It is very easy to get the license.
Those statements and the statistic are completely false. Lol 2nd in the world? Are you crazy?
The United State isn't even on the first list of gun violence, it's actually Brazil the first gun violence place.
Why they tell everyone to gather in the mall when there is a shooting? Doesn't that make it easier for the shooter?
Will be trialed as an adult?
我謹代表泰國人民,對這意外事件表示歉意。無論犯罪行為是否發生,都是犯罪人的過錯。所有泰國人民都對這種行為感到遺憾和不同意,無論這種行為發生在哪裡。與這個世界上的任何人
So why bangkoko siam paragon shooting shoppers trapped in mall??
Thanks to this news. I won't travel to Thailand ever again.
I bet your country wouldn't be better.
Average day in america be like:
He's imitating American shootings
America flag on his cap lol
The American flag on the cap explains it all.
He should be granted American citizenship, he did right according to American standards
from now on, i will stay away from anybody who use american flag on their outfit
Chance of being killed is certain at Assumption uni Thailand, Abac installed a voice tape recorder in campus including the school office. Conversation stealing from office is not enough, the school uploaded on social media for years without teacher’s awareness. This criminal act done by Abac resulted in a robbery to the AU teacher, dead accident since.
😮ggih
So scary, I thought I can only see this things happening in USA or western countries. Did I heard it right? 14 year old boy is the shooter??? So insane. What is happening to this world? where did he got the gun in the first place???
Officer there say that the boy have mental issue.but the question is how the hell that he get hold of a firearm.isit so easy to buy a gun in thailand?
I went to siam paragon few times on my family and friends hoilday
in mall jakarta indonesia you must need xray first to enter the mall
WHY parents allow him to own guns and bullets at home.
Parents are professors but negligence on child behaviour.
This boy have depression problems.
WHY shooting centre allow 14 years boy enter to practice shooting 100 + blast .
A tourist saw him hold short gun practicing at centre.
Unforgivable mistakes by parents and shooting centre.
I wont be surprised if the kid got it from his favourite English Teacher who happens to be an American Expat
I'm surprised this is happening, and worse a boy his age would do that. Where did he get the gun? Not easy to get hold of a gun in Thailand. I was at that same Siam Paragon back in December 2019 when I went on a Indochina tour. When I was there I saw some cars inside the building. There were models outside the building too.
Is pretty hard to get a gun legally, but this case is surely that the gun is illegal owned, so it pretty easy to own any gun illegally in Thai. This problem is out of hands 🫠
He use blank gun (plastic gun) that modify to use like real gun
@@gritpatavee Realy ? Wow you must be a gun expert 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@gritpatavee yet he was able to kill three people using a plastic gun?
@@gritpataveeNice to meet you, firearm expert. Tell us more
Dont go to Thailand
Absolutely love her accent 💕
Let's hope you love her chili peppers too.
@@ontheroad5555what?
Sounds cool
Note to Asian People : Avoid people who are proud to use the USA Flag in Asia.
No more safe place for tourist and investor
Every tourists must wear bulletproof vest 🦺
US needs to sent in more priest
That's what they get for legalizing marijuana in their country.
That's main reason weapon especially gun have to control by government. Murder just a teenager, how come he can get the gun ?
If the gun was control and record by the government, and if some one have a chance to get the gun, then official department can easily to chase them.
Acually he used the modified blank gun.
What's meaning of modified blank gun ?
@@sandywang1452 blank gun is the fake gun for the movie. it have to use special bullet which can make only smoke and sound. It cannot heard anyone. However someone modify it to be able to use 9.0 mm real bullet for shooting. It is very dangerous both of real bullet and gun explode due to it wasn't designed for the real bullet. Both of blank gun and modified blank gun can be easily buy through online.
....... If he has talent in modified tools(gun?) why not use this talent in others ways instead fire the weapon then attacking people publicly? Did he need any help in his life? School life or domestic/family life ?
thailand the next amercia ? haha
Own firearm in thailand supposed is legal else who gonna self defence unlikely me staying your neighbor country without freedom can't apply firearm everytime they like to robbery own peoples without let anyone report police even has police at own country also useless
Use sword or baton 😅
What I’ve summarised so far:
- the gun could be stolen from parents, maybe of influential background
- he was wearing a cap with an American flag on, could relate to the mass shooting news you’d see
- he’s 14 years old, maybe relating to shoot games
- he needed psychiatric care and he kept repeating words “over there” after the incident (BBC news mentioned he stopped taking his medicine)
Notes:
Some people say this is a rare case, but having stayed for nearly a year now, I’ve seen and heard the news in Thailand. And trust me when I say it’s not pleasant at all. If it’s not political news, it’s people killing each other. Knives, guns and even cyanide. Some just doesn’t make it onto the world news. But this case is devastating because it’s about a minor who possess a gun and killed people in a very public destination where tourists from all countries gather. It’s not your typical local news of like husbands and wives fighting or arguments with neighbours.
Ban all Shooting Game.
Last Pub Comrad Chang wanna be American shooter wearing a US flag hat.😢
Sayam Paragon or Siam Paragon
The word 'สยาม' is written in English as 'Siam' and the kingdom was called 'Siam/siem/sian/sam/sham/shamu' by foreigners since centuries ago. It is actually pronounced as 'Sayam' in Thai.
So natives more often than not forget to pronounce the word as 'sai-am'...especially when we talk about this area: Siam Square, Siam station, Siam Center, Siam Paragon...
satan pls bless the people of thailand
Why all the fuss? Happens everyday here
nope its very rare
here as in america? yeah its normal
Thai? definetly not normal.
@@Zombie-vo7wjshootings at public areas are rare, gun violence in general are common
Gu kai gyao... Effect 😢??

Thailand, especially bangkok, has never been a safe place.
BANGKOK is the number one busiest city in the world in terms of tourist. Always number one in the world, it may not be the safest but it is definitely safer than most american and european cities and that is for sure. Look for numbers and go to thailand if you didn't know.
But I think Bangkok is safer than your country.
You mean usa? @@irishunt1637
Really ?🙄 and how do you know ?
I think BKK is very safe
The American flag on the cap explains it all.
He should be granted American citizenship, he did right according to American standards
from now on, i will stay away from anybody who use american flag on their outfit
Spreading American culture. Nice!
well it is contagious afterall.
😂😅😊 hahahahaha 😆 😅
God bless america
This is normal in the US but rare here

99 years flat just remove lah. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Boom bang bang boom 😂
This looks like a set up? Something doesn't look right?
The shooting is real.
Many Thais don't want noisy and messy visitors from China 🇨🇳.
But they keep coming. Why?
Thailand gives free visa to all the Chinese tourists for 5 months plus Thailand is a cannabis country, so go figure.
True and false in some sense. Whilst many may say there is a cultural differences between Thais and Chinese people, they still stimulate the economy in Thailand as there population is extremely higher. Also, there has been a recent law that people from China no longer need to apply for visa to enter Thailand. This shows that the government gives importance to the Chinese tourists/travellers that comes into the country.
But, I think since one of the victim that was shot was chinese, this is going to create a great uproar and maybe even decrease the numbers of chinese visitors.
This is the price of being too close to China. Happy to see Thais rising up. Soon it will be Indonesia's turn.
what does it have to do with a nation being close to China? 😐 the boy is Thai national and his motive is still unknown.
🤮🤮🤮🤮
He's imitating American shootings
笑死老子,这是美国日常,泰国还是比较少发生的,与其担心印度尼西亚还是好好担心你的爹吧。
