A 14-year-old student killed seven people in Thailand on August 7 after first shooting his two grandparents at home with his grandfather's legally owned firearm. He then went to Debsirin Nonthaburi School near Bangkok, where he fatally shot five teachers and staff members and injured 23 others before taking his own life. Authorities said the teenager had reportedly been under academic pressure, though the motive remains under investigation. The attack has shocked Thailand and reignited debate over gun ownership, school safety, and the need for stronger mental health support for young people. (PC: X)
