One killed, four injured in Thailand school shooting, officials say

What the report says

A shooting at Debsirin Nonthaburi School in the Bang Kruai district on the northwestern outskirts of Bangkok left one teacher dead and four other people injured, according to Thai authorities reported by Al Jazeera and Reuters. Police said the gunman was a student who died by suicide after the attack. Officials did not immediately provide additional details about the suspect or the condition of those injured.

The incident disrupted the school community as emergency workers responded and students were evacuated from the scene. Reuters photographs showed ambulances and medics treating people outside the school, while one student told the news agency he initially mistook the gunfire for something else before hearing repeated shots. The school had an enrollment of about 3,100 students and 147 teachers in the 2025 academic year, district authorities said.

The shooting adds to concerns about gun violence in Thailand, where firearms laws are relatively strict but illegal weapons remain a problem, according to background cited in the report. It also follows earlier school attacks in the country, including a fatal shooting in southern Thailand earlier in 2026 and a major 2022 mass killing in Nong Bua Lamphu. The latest case is likely to renew scrutiny of school security and firearms enforcement.
