Student shoots multiple people at a high school in Thailand, authorities say

BANGKOK (AP) — Police were responding to a shooting Friday at a high school outside Bangkok where deaths and injuries were reported.

The shooting happened at the Debsirin Nonthaburi School in Nonthaburi province northwest of the national capital, Royal Thai Police spokesperson Trairong Piwpan told The Associated Press.

The shooter was a student who remained inside the school and deaths and injuries were reported, Arsit Sampantharat, permanent secretary for the Interior Ministry, told news station PPTV.

The officials did not say how many people were hurt or provide other details.

Images from the scene showed people standing outside the school comforting one another.

In February, a 17-year-old stole a gun from police and opened fire at a public high school in southern Thailand, briefly taking people hostage in a two-hour attack that killed one person and injured two others.
