A senior police official claimed on Wednesday that the girl had modified a gun that was only intended to flame blank shots, leading to the suspect’s murder of two foreign nationals and the injuries of five other people in the shooting at the Thai shopping mall.

On Tuesday, as shots rang out, conflict erupted at the Siam Paragon store on Rama 1 Road in Bangkok’s Pathum Wan neighborhood, sending thousands fleeing. Two girls from China and Myanmar were the victims.

The 14-year-old suspect shooter was detained slow on Tuesday. According to Maj Gen Samran Nuanma, he changed a blank-round-firing weapon so that it could flame live ammunition.

The suspect allegedly skipped his medicine while receiving psychic treatment, according to the police.

” Typically. The believe is not captured dead. This event serves as a crucial case investigation for us. New federal police chief Pol Gen Torsak Sukvimol stated in a broadcast interview on Wednesday that” we need information from the young gentleman.”
