BANGKOK: Dozens of bereaved students, parents and teachers queued at a Buddhist temple in Thailand on Sunday (Aug 9) to pray over the body of a 12-year-old girl, one of eight victims of a home and school shooting two days earlier.
Investigators are still seeking a motive, but police said on Sunday the boy had watched violent videos online and once brought a BB gun to school.
Officials said earlier he faced academic-related stress and a classmate said he was bullied.
She died in hospital on Saturday after suffering gunshot wounds at the school, police said.
Five teachers and school staff were also killed on Friday.
