One victim of the shooting attack in the Siam Paragon shopping center remembered the time she ran up an elevator and faced the 14-year-old shooter.
She believed she was running to a secure location. Instead, she noticed the child standing on the escalator’s opposite conclusion. He immediately turned to face her and fired his gun.
Anyapat Thipjirasakul recalled,” I immediately turned around and ran as quickly as I was down the stairway when I saw him.” There were four pictures, I heard. A shot struck me. My left shoulder hurt, but I was unable to prevent.
I descended the stairway by leaping. I stumbled, but I had to stay running out of fear that he would catch up with me. She sprinted through the crowd, some of whom were sobbing and screaming, toward the gate wall.
It was awful. During my first day, I slept very little. She claimed from a hospital that whenever I close my eyes, I can see him and learn the gunshot.
One of the seven people shot by the girl in the late afternoon of October 3 was Anyapat. Later, the Scientific Crime Detection Division officers discovered around 40 shot shells, most of which were dispersed on the second and third flooring.
Another victim, Penpiwan Mitthampitak, is in critical issue. She received two shots to the proper chest and once in the mind.
Li Sha, a 30-year-old Chinese national, suffered two gunshot wounds to her chest — one on her back and the other in her right arm. Her health is firm.
Kham Phiou, a 28-year-old Thai nation, was shot in the shoulder. She is being closely watched by a physician because the right side of her body is poor and barely able to move.
Wichen Vijikhaki, a 41-year-old Thai subject, was shot in the back. Now he is secure. Zhao Jinnan, a 34-year-old Chinese subject, was one of the two survivors who died. While Moe Myint, a citizen of Myanmar, passed away after in the hospital, she perished at the scene.
On October 3, at around 3.15 p.m., CCTV footage shows the long-haired boy walking from his apartments to the BTS Skytrain while carrying a suitcase. He is dressed in black hoodie jacket, yellow military pants, and black boots.
At 3.35 p.m., he boarded the train and arrived at the store. On the M ground, he entered a room, removed his coat, and set his bag on the toilet cover. He started shooting at Ms. Kham, a cleaner who was working in the female room, at 4.10 p.m.
A witness claimed she heard noises coming from the room but dared not leave as many customers crammed inside the adult restroom, running for their lives.
She remarked that it was fortunate the gunman passed by the women’s room. He began to move between floors. He also stopped to check Twitter and clicked” like” on information about his murder.
self-identification
The Special Operations Division, also known as the 191 Unit, got a phone around 4.46 p.m. asking if the officers were aware of the shooting at the shopping center in Siam Paragon. The agent responded,” I am the shooter ,” after saying yes.
The division’s chief, Phanop Worathanatchakul, claimed that his visit was forwarded from the first agent to Pol Captain Possawat Jongjit, a skilled negotiator.
If there was anything he may do, the police enquired. He even enquired as to his name and whereabouts.
The police claimed that the voice on the other end said he was sitting on a sofa but was unsure of which floor the man was about.
The officer summoned his brains and inquired as to whether he was present at the third-floor furniture store. The adolescent replied yes. Another authorities squad on the ground was informed of the information.
The gunman occasionally inquired about his father during the conversation, according to Pol Capt. Possawat.
He claimed that at one place he pointed the gun at himself. He even sobbed when asked if he would go to jail. I just turned 14 years older. May I get imprisoned? May I remain secure? ” Pol Capt Possawat remembered the exchange.
The sniper eventually identified the weapon as a modified empty gun that he had purchased online after the policeman ordered him to put it down.
Additionally, the official instructed him to leave the store and go join a group of police who were waiting outside. The adolescent claimed he don’t move. He requested that the police come in and get him otherwise after spotting numerous dark shadows outside the store.
The collar team’s captain, Pol Capt Thanamorn Nunarod, claimed to have overheard the teen calling and pleading with him to turn himself in.
I instructed the adolescent to lay down his weapons, rest his fingers on the back of his neck, and kneel down. He appeared to take some time to reflect. I then had to demonstrate to him that I had a stronger tool. ” After that, he gave up. At 5.10 p.m., the torpedo was apprehended.
requesting interest
According to Pol Lt Col Kritsanapong Phutrakul, head of the staff of crime and justice management at Rangsit University, the shooter was well-equipped to carry out his crime.
While making his way to the BTS place, he didn’t shoot anyone. He said that because he picked the big shopping center in the middle of the city and a busy day, the public was alarmed by his actions.
Thais have questioned the offender’s lifestyle because they cannot understand him committing such a horrifying crime when he was only 14 years old.
There was insufficient information, according to Dr. Woroj Chotipitayasunon, a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Public Health’s Department of Mental Health, to determine whether the torpedo was psychologically ill or not.
The gunman was admitted to Galya Rajanagarindra Institute on October 6 for a five-day period of clinical study.
With the exception of one man who works as a security guard, the teenager typically shot women. We must understand how he chose his goals, or if they were chosen at random,” he said.
The adolescent enjoyed playing shooting games and was also very effective electronically. He visited killing ranges more than a dozen times to hone his skills.
There is no definitive solution, according to Dr. Woroj, to the question of whether playing violent games results in aggressive behavior.
The target of the attack, Moe Myint, was laid to rest on Saturday at Wat Phasuk Manee Chak in Nonthaburi, according to the criminal’s parents.
He wanted to express his regret to Khin Win, the family of Moe Myint, who had come from Myanmar to attend her daughter’s death.
On behalf of his brother, the cop’s father knelt before Khin Win and begged for her pardon. The mother drew the man closer to her as he attempted to give her settlement in a light box, which was politely declined.
” My child is more valuable than anything in the earth.” She told the father,” She didn’t get exchanged with your cash.
A close friend of her child translated her comments into Thai.
I’m never mad at you, I assure you. She said quietly,” I just want judge for my daughter.
At least I’m happy that I had a good girl who looked out for me and took care of me since she was 16 ,” she said, placing her arms on his shoulders.
” Having a cruel brother made me feel bad for you. Perhaps you experience sorrow more than I do. I want to offer you my spiritual aid as a family and to express my sympathy, she said.
