In a shocking turn of events, five people were killed, including four security guards and a market employee, during a mass shooting at a food market in Bangkok on Monday. The assailant, identified as a Thai national, took his own life at the scene, as confirmed by local police. Injuries were reported among two additional market sellers, raising the gravity of the attack. According to Police Lieutenant Siam Boonsom, the gunman had prior disputes with the market's security personnel, but authorities have asserted that this incident had no ties to the ongoing tensions between Thailand and Cambodia. While gun ownership is notably high in Thailand, mass shootings are generally not frequent; however, the nation has experienced several tragic violent events in recent history. Notable incidents include a shooting by a 14-year-old at a luxury shopping mall in 2023, a horrific attack by an ex-policeman that claimed 37 lives in 2022, and another deadly shooting by a soldier in 2020 that left 29 dead in Nakhon Ratchasima.
