A student opened fire at Debsirin Nonthaburi School near Bangkok, killing a teacher and injuring four others before dying by suicide. Police evacuated the campus and launched an investigation as authorities worked to determine the motive behind the attack.

A deadly shooting at a school in Thailand’s Nonthaburi province left a teacher dead and four other people injured on Friday after a student opened fire on the campus, according to authorities.

The incident occurred at Debsirin Nonthaburi School, located north of Bangkok. Police identified the attacker as a student but did not immediately release further information about the individual or disclose what may have motivated the shooting.

Emergency services rushed to the school following reports of gunfire. Students were evacuated from the campus as police, rescue personnel and medical teams secured the area and attended to those injured.

Authorities initially confirmed two deaths, including the suspected shooter, who died by suicide after the attack. A teacher was identified as the other person killed. Four people were reported injured and were taken for medical treatment. Officials indicated that some victims remained under medical care, while authorities continued to assess the full impact of the incident.

Police have launched an investigation to establish what led to the student opening fire inside the school. Investigators are expected to examine the student’s background, movements before the attack and possible circumstances that may have contributed to the shooting. Authorities had not announced a suspected motive in the immediate aftermath.

Emergency responders remained at the campus as students and staff were moved to safety. Visuals from outside the school showed ambulances and rescue personnel responding as the situation unfolded.

Security around the institution was tightened while police carried out their initial investigation and collected information from witnesses. Further details about the identities and conditions of the injured were not immediately available.

The shooting triggered an emergency evacuation at Debsirin Nonthaburi School as authorities worked to ensure there was no continuing threat to students and staff.

Medical teams transported the injured to hospitals while rescue workers assisted at the scene. Police also began interviewing witnesses to reconstruct the sequence of events surrounding the attack.

The incident has renewed concerns about security at educational institutions in Thailand. Authorities are expected to review how the student obtained access to a firearm and whether any warning signs were identified before the shooting. The investigation could also examine school security arrangements and the events immediately preceding the attack.

Friday’s incident comes months after another shooting was reported at a school in Thailand’s southern Hat Yai district. In that February attack, a teacher was killed and a student was injured after a gunman opened fire on the school campus.

The latest violence in Nonthaburi has again drawn attention to firearm-related attacks involving educational institutions and the challenges authorities face in keeping campuses secure.

Police have not yet announced whether there was any connection between the latest attack and previous school shootings. Authorities are expected to release additional information as the investigation progresses, including details about the suspected motive, the condition of those injured and the circumstances surrounding the firearm used in the attack.
