Six dead in mass shooting at popular Bangkok food market
The gunman fatally shot five people at the popular Or Tor Kor market in the Thai capital, a police official told Reuters, adding that the gunman had also killed himself.
Security camera footage from the incident showed people scrambling to save themselves as multiple gunshots rang out. Another clip was widely shared that appeared to show the shooter holding a handgun and running through a car park from the market's entrance gate.
The shooter, a man wearing a black T-shirt and carrying a backpack on his front, arrived at the market after 1pm local time and began shooting multiple rounds. He fled the market before shooting himself dead, Matichon reported.
The victims have been identified as four security guards working at the market and a woman. Two other women were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.
