Fatal Shooting Incident in Kanchanaburi

On the evening of November 12, 2026, a tragic shooting occurred in the Tha Muang district of Kanchanaburi province. According to reports from Khaosod Online, a 53-year-old woman, identified as Mrs. Rangshima, was fatally wounded while riding a motorcycle with her husband near the entrance to the Samrong Subdistrict Municipality. The couple initially mistook the sound of gunfire for a tire blowout before the woman was struck by six shotgun pellets in the chest and abdomen. Despite efforts by emergency responders and local volunteers to transport her to a hospital, she succumbed to her injuries before arrival. Her husband, who was operating the motorcycle, remained unharmed. Local police and medical examiners from the Somdet Phra Sangharaja 19th Hospital have launched an investigation into the incident.

Authorities are currently searching for the perpetrator. For residents and travelers in the area, this incident highlights the importance of remaining vigilant, particularly when traveling on rural or less-trafficked roads at night. The motive behind the attack and the identity of the assailant remain under investigation by the Samrong Police Station.
