In a recent development from Thailand, an 18-year-old gunman was detained after a hostage situation at a school in the Hat Yai district of Songkhla province. According to Qaumi Awaz Stories, the incident occurred at the Patong Prathan Khiri Wat School, where the gunman opened fire, injuring a student and a teacher. The police, after a tense standoff, successfully freed all hostages. The suspect, identified as 'Khem', had taken a female staff member hostage in the school's public relations room. Express News reported that initial reports suggested the suspect was killed, but later clarifications from Thailand's Central Investigation Bureau confirmed he was captured alive after being shot. The police have yet to determine the motive behind the attack, and a mental health evaluation of the suspect is planned.
