And regrettably, there will be more of these kinds of incidents to follow.

The tragic and sad incident at the Mall in Korat has taken the Cork out of a bottle.

These things go on in a semi regular way. I think there were two fatal shootings and two fatal stabbings in shopping malls locally in the couple of years I stayed in Nonthaburi.

 

Either way it is just another senseless tragedy that has destroyed another family no doubt.

Gun crime in Thailand due to the easy availability of weapons to 'children' has always been an issue, just been elevated of late because of the horrific incident in Korat.

Gunman kills ex-wife at Bangkok shopping mall days after mass shooting

By Panarat Thepgumpanat

BANGKOK (Reuters) - A man killed his ex-wife and wounded another person at a shopping centre in Bangkok on Tuesday, police said, 10 days after a mass shooting at another mall in Thailand's northeast.

 

The gunman then fled the Century The Movie Plaza, near the Thai capital's Victory Monument and is still on the run, Thai police said.

 

"One person died and another was injured," police Colonel Kissana Pattanacharoen told Reuters.

 

Police said in a statement they knew the suspect's identity and were working to apprehend him.

 

The gunman entered a beauty clinic at the mall where his ex-wife worked and opened fire, killing her and wounding a bystander, Kissana said.

 

The nine-storey mall, best known for its top-floor cinema, was continuing to operate and only the area where the shooting took place was cordoned off.

 

The plaza is connected to the Victory Monument skytrain station, a transit hub that was crowded with commuters in the late afternoon rush hour.

 

Ten days before, a soldier killed at least a dozen people at the Terminal 21 shopping centre in the northeastern city of Nakhon Ratchasima. He had earlier killed his commanding officer, other soldiers at his base and several people at a Buddhist temple.
