According to Thai police, there have been reports of gunshots at a posh store in the city center of Bangkok.

Officers informed the BBC that they were on their way to the Siam Paragon store but were unable to provide any further information.

Authorities have not yet commented on the active shooter circumstance that locals reported on social media.

The store has officially closed all of its entrances since footage of customers leaving it appeared on social media earlier.

Additionally, video that appeared to be taken from the shopping center have been posted online. In one picture, the active mall is evidently filled with four loud noises that resemble gunshots.

Witnesses have even claimed electronically that they have started hiding out in stores and restrooms.

According to a local media record, the local Siam subway station has also been shut down.
