A young man named Zakrapanth Thomma is currently out of the hold. Before the shootout, he posted a photo with a gun on Facebook and wrote that death is calling everyone. According to the information received from the media, the soldier targeted the shopping mall in northeast Thailand on Saturday, 8 February 2020, then on the first military base. The eccentric young man rode in a car and started shooting indiscriminate bullets at people.
According to sources, in the northeastern city of Nakhon Ratchasima, about 250 km from the capital Bangkok, soldiers fired indiscriminately on innocent people at many places. Most people have died due to his firing near the shopping mall. It is also being said that the Ministry of Defense spokesman Kongchip Tantravani said that why the soldier Thomma is doing this, could not be ascertained. Maybe he has gone mad. Footage of the attack in local news channels shows that Thoma stopped in a car close to the shopping mall and opened fire on people with his gun there.
