Bangkok, Thailand (CNN)Police in Thailand said Saturday they were searching for a soldier in who opened fire and killed at least 10 people.

The shooting happened in Thailand's Nakhon Ratchasima Province on Saturday.

Krissana Pattanacharoen, a police spokesman, told CNN: "At the moment we are trying to capture the guy. Both police and military forces have been deployed to the area."

Pattanacharoen said the motive of the gunman, who is believed to be a soldier in the 2nd Army Regional Command, remains unknown.

The military commander, Lt. General Thanya Kiatsarn, who is at the scene of the shooting, told CNN: "We can't confirm if there are any hostages taken. But we believe he [the shooter] is still holding inside Terminal 21 shopping mall. We are working on this."

This one is gonna be bad, I think. There are videos of him firing in full auto with his service rifle, an HK33, which is a locally produced version of the G3. Full kit, helmet, the whole deal. Some reports of hostages, some not, but they still haven't caught him and he's been at it for an hour.

so youre saying gun violence has not been addressed as a political concept in thailand and wont be until the gunman is caught? you sure that makes sense?

maybe until someone who is well versed in thai politics and culture shows up we should close the thread because its off-topicness is a moral outrage. imagine... a thread where people just talked... unthinkable

Al-Jazeera is reporting that he shot his commanding officer and two more soldiers on his base before loading up an army vehicle and traveling to the city center. They've also confirmed that he has hostages. Hostage taking in situations like this generally (but not always) indicate some type of political demand.

The attacker streamed his earlier activity at the mall on Facebook Live and posted a selfie showing him holding a rifle. Tired, I can barely move my fingers, he said on a video posted at 7.20pm.

Other text messages posted before the page was taken down included Should I surrender? and Oh poo poo, Ive got cramps in my hand. An earlier post said, Nobody can avoid death, and another one read, Being rich from taking advantage of others, do they think they can use money in hell?

Lt Gen Thanya Kriatisarn, commander of the Second Army Region, said police and soldiers were hunting the attacker, identified as Sgt Maj Jakrapanth Thomma, 32, of the Surathampithak camp.

The slain commander has been identified as Col Anantharot Krasae, with whom the gunman was reported to have had a conflict. A 63-year-old woman said to be Col Anantharots mother-in law was also killed at the camp, along with another soldier.

He is anti-rich talking about them taking advantage of others and sending them to hell but then attacked random pedestrians in the street?

A soldier has killed 20 people and injured many more in a gun rampage in the Thai city of Nakhon Ratchasima.

Jakraphanth Thomma, a junior officer, killed his commanding officer before stealing weapons from a military camp, a defence spokesman told BBC Thai.

The suspect opened fire at a Buddhist temple then entered a shopping centre, where is believed to be holed up.

The suspect, whose motives remain unclear, posted images of his attack on social media sites.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-51427301

starting at a Buddhist temple lends a bit of weight to it maybe being related to the insurgency in the southern provinces, but who knows

also unconfirmed report that he has 6 rifles, a pistol, and explosives

The soldier ones are always bad, Australia had a real bad one due to the rogue soldier. Which wikipedia has a detailed article still up on how to copy, and this one is similar.

Weird parallel, but if what.cd's music library was illegal and a threat to society, why the gently caress are there still detailed how to articles on wikipedia for mass shooting. In many languages. It can't hurt to remove.

Honestly I think the sad truth is people realized that the news cycle is so brutally fast in the US that no matter how many people they killed people would forget them in a month, unlike the Columbine kids. There's no point in emulating them now.
