In an effort to find out the reason behind a young boy’s deadly shooting rampage inside the Siam Paragon shopping plaza in Bangkok on Tuesday, police intend to question the shooting instructor.
According to Pol Maj Gen Nakharin Sukhonthawit, chief of Metropolitan Police Division 6, investigators have learned more about the shooting selection where the 14-year-old practiced and the professor who oversaw him.
According to Pol Maj Gen Nakharin, the variety is situated at the Royal Thai Army’s Territorial Defense Command on Charoen Krung Road in the Phra Nakhon area.
Following the Siam Paragon shootings, a video of the young practicing in military camouflage while being watched electronically was posted. It is unknown when the film was recorded.
Officers would inquire with the professor, according to Pol Maj Gen Nakharin, about whether the child was with anyone else on that particular day and whether he brought a gun or rented one at the range.
According to firing range rules, children under the age of 20 must have kids with them when they practice shooting.
After shots rang out inside Siam Paragon later on Tuesday afternoon, hundreds of people fled screaming into the roads. Following a rampage that resulted in the deaths of two unusual people and the injuries of five other people, the young gunman was later apprehended inside the store.
The boy was remanded to a juvenile detention facility on Wednesday and charged with murder and other offenses. There, he may have his mental health examined.
Police investigated a company in the Thung Khru region that produced BB guns and bare weapons and was allegedly connected to the mall shooting.
According to reports, the suspect altered a gun that could fire holes to flame bullets. On Thursday, three people were detained on suspicion of selling the girl a gun and ammunition.
Empty guns are not considered weapons, so their users are exempt from licensing requirements, and officials have vowed to close a legal gap.
