Students recount terror as gunman kills nine at Thailand school

On Friday morning, a 14-year-old student opened fire at Debsirin Nonthaburi School in Bangkok, Thailand, killing nine people and wounding 23. The incident began when the alleged gunman shot his grandparents at home before traveling to the school. Students like Khim, 14, described barricading classrooms and huddling in fear as gunshots echoed through the building. Khim recounted the terror, stating, "I heard multiple gunshots and felt like we weren't going to survive." The shooter, also 14, killed three teachers and two school officials before taking his own life. This event, Thailand's deadliest mass shooting since 2022, has reignited discussions on firearms control in the country.
