One 18-year-old student told Reuters that at first he thought he was hearing firecrackers. “Then it started getting more frequent, like ‘bang, bang, bang’ and then it went quiet at one point,” the unnamed student said. In a statement, the school said the shooting had “shaken the hearts” of students, parents, teachers and others. It is the second school shooting in Thailand this year. One teacher was killed and a student was injured in February at a school in the southern district of Hat Yai.
