Police have stepped up security at a school in Chiang Mai after a student yesterday, August 10, posted messages threatening to shoot other students, including those accused of bullying them. According to a screenshot, the student threatened to shoot everyone the next day, telling them to meet at 10am and singling out students that allegedly bullied them. Today, August 11, the student’s parents were asked to meet officials as police continued examining what prompted the message and the circumstances surrounding it. Police across Chiang Mai have also been instructed to increase security and surveillance around schools to reassure students, teachers, staff and parents. Officials urged students and parents not to share unverified information, warning that it could cause panic or encourage copycat behaviour.
