A gunman killed six security guards in a mass shooting at Bangkok ’s Or Tor Kor Market on Monday, according to police.
The suspect later took his own life. “Police are investigating the motive. So far it's a mass shooting,” said Worapat Sukthai, deputy police chief of Bangkok’s Bang Sue district.
Authorities are working to confirm the shooter’s identity and any possible links to ongoing border clashes between Thailand and Cambodia. The market, known for its fresh produce and close proximity to the popular Chatuchak weekend market, is a well-frequented destination in the Thai capital.
Deputy Commissioner Charin Gopatta confirmed to Reuters that six people, including the gunman, had died. The Erawan Emergency Medical Centre reported that five victims were killed — four security personnel and one woman. Mass shootings are not uncommon in Thailand, where gun control laws are loosely enforced and firearms are relatively accessible.
