Boy arrested after two people shot dead in shopping centre

World

A 14-year-old has been arrested after three people were killed in a shooting at a shopping centre in Thailand.

Hundreds of people were seen fleeing the Siam Paragon Mall – a luxury shopping centre in Bangkok.

Emergency services said three people had been killed and three wounded, while Thai police said the suspect is just 14 years old.

A photo shows police handcuffing them on the floor.

Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin posted on X: “I am aware of the shooting event at Siam Paragon and have
ordered the police to investigate. I am most worried about public safety,”

Gun violence is common in Thailand. Last year, an ex-police officer killed 22 children in a nursery shooting.
