In short
- Thai police said a teenage student killed six people and wounded 15 at a school north of Bangkok on 7 August 2026 before dying at the scene.
Thai police said seven people, including the suspected attacker, were killed in a shooting at Debsirin Nonthaburi School north of Bangkok on Friday, 7 August 2026.
Authorities said the teenage student killed at least six people and wounded 15 others. The victims reported by police included people attacked at the school, while officials said the suspect had earlier fatally shot his grandparents at their home.
The final count reported later on Friday clarified earlier accounts that listed six deaths without consistently stating whether the attacker was included. Police were continuing to investigate the sequence of events and the circumstances that led to the attack.
The incident was Thailand’s deadliest mass shooting since 2022, according to reporting carried by The Guardian. Details could change as authorities identify victims and update the condition of those injured.
