A shooting occurred at a school in Nonthaburi province, Thailand, just north of Bangkok. A student is reported to have opened fire, as noted in a Reuters report citing police sources. Authorities have not confirmed the number of fatalities at this time.

The incident shook the Bang Kruai district, where officials identified the suspect as a student. Details about the victims, the suspect, and a possible motive are currently unavailable as investigations continue.
