Mass Shooting In Bangkok: Video Shows Chaos At Market Amid Firing, Final Moments Of Suspect
A gunman opened fire at Or Tor Kor Market in Bangkok, killing five people, including four security guards and a woman, before killing himself. Police are investigating the motive.
Following the deadly shooting at a popular food market in Thai capital Bangkok, visuals have surfaced showing the gunman and the chaotic scenes in the area.
The mass shooting incident at Or Tor Kor Market left at least six people dead on Monday. Located near Chatuchak Market, the food market is a major weekend attraction for both locals and tourists.
The identity of the gunman has not been established yet.
According to police, the shooter opened fire at the market, killing five individuals, including four security guards and a woman. After the killings, he shot himself dead with the same weapon.
The moment when chaos unfolded as shoppers rushed to take cover amid the sound of gunfire, was captured on camera. In the video, people were seen running to save their lives as gunman continued to fire multiple shots.
Another video showing the suspected gunman brandishing a gun while moving through the market's parking lot, has also emerged.
Worapat Sukthai, deputy police chief of Bangkok's Bang Sue district, where the incident happened, said police are probing the motive of the gunman.
'Police are investigating the motive. So far it's a mass shooting," news agency AFP quoted Worapat Sukthai as saying.
Sukthai said the suspect killed himself after the shooting, and police were working to identify him. The cop added that they were investigating 'for any possible link" to the border clashes between Thailand and Cambodia.
Mass shootings are not rare in Thailand. The country faces challenges with firearm accessibility due to weak enforcement of gun control laws.
