A 14-year-old student allegedly killed five teachers and injured more than 30 people during a shooting at Debsirin School in Nonthaburi, near Bangkok, before taking his own life. Police said the teenager had earlier fatally shot his grandparents using a 9mm handgun believed to belong to his grandfather. Students described fleeing classrooms and climbing fences to escape as the gunman moved through the school. Authorities have not established a motive, though investigators are examining possible academic stress. The attack, Thailand's deadliest mass shooting in years and the country's second school shooting this year, has renewed calls for stricter gun control and stronger safeguards against illegal firearms.
