Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Five killed in Bangkok market mass shooting
Caption: Five Killed in Mass Shooting at Bangkok Market. Five people were killed in a mass shooting at Or Tor Kor Market on Monday, according to police in Thailand's capital. The gunman, identified as Thai, died after taking his own life following the attack, confirmed local authorities. Four of the deceased were security guards, while the fifth victim was a market worker. Two other sellers were injured in the attack. Police Lieutenant Siam Boonsom stated the shooter had previous disputes with the market's security staff. Authorities confirmed the incident was unrelated to Thailand’s ongoing conflict with Cambodia. The Or Tor Kor market is renowned for its high-quality fresh produce, including fruit and seafood. While gun ownership in Thailand is relatively high, mass shootings are rare in the country. However, deadly incidents have occurred in recent years. Thailand has seen several high-profile shootings, including a 2023 mall shooting and a 2022 childcare center massacre. The 2020 Nakhon Ratchasima attack, where a soldier killed 29 people, is one of the country's most deadly mass shooting.
