Relatives of the student involved in the tragic shooting at Debsirin Nonthaburi School describe him as a quiet, well-behaved child, expressing shock over the incident.
On August 7, 2026, following a shooting incident at Debsirin Nonthaburi School in the Bang Kruai district, details have emerged regarding the background of the student perpetrator. According to Khaosod Online Thailand, the student, who was in his third year of middle school, allegedly killed and injured several teachers and students before his grandparents were found deceased at their home in the Lat Wat Pla Duk area.
Ms. Thananphorn, a relative of the deceased grandparents, stated that the student lived primarily with his grandparents, who had raised him since his parents separated. She described the boy as a quiet, well-behaved child who rarely socialized, preferring to stay home and play games. She noted that the grandparents—a retired teacher and a former bank manager—maintained a close, loving relationship with him and were deeply involved in his daily routine, including school transportation. The family expressed disbelief, stating that the boy was polite and that they saw no signs of conflict within the household.
For residents and travelers, this incident highlights a tragic event within a local educational institution. While the family suggests the boy’s home life was stable and affectionate, the underlying motivations for the violence remain under investigation by authorities. Further details regarding the timeline of events and the official findings of the police inquiry are still pending.
