BANGKOK: At least three people were killed and several others wounded on Tuesday (Oct 3) following a shooting at Bangkok’s Siam Paragon mall.
One of the wounded was a foreign national, said Thai emergency services.
Police have arrested the 14-year-old suspected gunman.
“The attacker was arrested. In fact, he surrendered … Police are clearing the scene. The situation is easing,” Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin told reporters.
In security camera footage shared on social media, the suspected shooter is seen inside a store, kneeling on the ground in an apparent surrender.
Police officers then shatter a glass panel before moving in to detain him.
Images of the arrest show an officer pinning the teenager to the ground and handcuffing the suspect, who was clad in a black top and a cap. Officials later recovered a handgun from the scene.
