On Tuesday October 3, 2023, an unpleasant tragedy occurred in Thailand. This started when a 14 year old boy was arrested after two people were killed and five others were injured in a shooting at a luxury shopping center, Siam Paragon in Bangkok, Thailand.

This tragedy also received attention, including Ten, members of NCT and WayV who are Thai idols. He also wrote his condolences, "I heard there was a tragic incident in Bangkok. I hope everyone is safe. Please be careful and stay safe.”

Reporting from the BBC, based on a statement from the Thai police chief, the victims came from China and Myanmar. The suspect, whose motive was unclear, surrendered to officers. Five other people, one Laotian, one Chinese and three Thai were also injured.

Footage showed shoppers inside the Siam Paragon mall running towards the exits after they heard several shots fired. When police arrived at the scene at 17:10 local time, the perpetrator had managed to shoot and several people had been attacked. The juvenile suspect has been shifted to Pathumwan police station. 

He attended school near the mall and had received treatment for a mental health condition at Rajvithi hospital, but had recently stopped taking medication, said Sukvimol, Torsak's national police chief. The head of the private school, known as The Essence, wrote a letter to parents confirming the suspect was a pupil and said the school would cooperate with police.
