At least one teacher was killed and four other people injured by a student who opened fire at a school north of Bangkok before killing himself, authorities in Thailand said on Friday.
Lt. Col. Dechrapee Kongdee, the Nonthaburi provincial police commander, confirmed the casualties and said the suspected gunman had taken their own life.
Among those injured were one teacher and three students, he said.
The incident took place in the Bang Kruai district of Nonthaburi province.
In photos circulated by emergency workers, students streamed out of the Debsirin Nonthaburi school, on the north-western outskirts of Bangkok, as ambulances operated. In one photo, one person is seen lying down on a stretcher outside an ambulance, while another is attended to by a medic.
In the 2025 academic year, the school had an enrolment of about 3,100 students and 147 teachers, according to district authorities.
In February a teacher died and a student was injured in southern Thailand’s Hat Yai district after a gunman opened fire at a school.
