Police are investigating multiple contributing factors, including social media influence and personal history, in a school shooting case involving a student in Nonthaburi.
According to a report by Thai Post, authorities are investigating a shooting incident involving a third-year middle school student at Debsirin Nonthaburi School. The Deputy Commander of Provincial Police Region 1 has convened a working group to oversee the case, noting that 17 witnesses have already been interviewed.
Preliminary findings suggest that the incident was driven by a combination of factors, including family issues, interpersonal conflicts with peers, and the consumption of specific social media content.
