On August 7, 2026, a shooting occurred at a high school in Thailand, resulting in one death and three injuries. The incident took place at a school in the northern province of Chiang Mai, according to local police.
The attacker, a former student, was arrested shortly after the shooting. Police have not yet released a motive, but initial reports suggest a personal dispute may have been involved.
The injured were taken to a nearby hospital, and their conditions are reported to be stable. The school has been closed temporarily for an investigation.
This incident adds to concerns about gun violence in Thailand, which has one of the highest rates of gun ownership in the region. However, school shootings are relatively rare in the country.
