A teenage student killed seven people in Thailand on Friday after opening fire at his home and then at his school, police said. The attack took place in the country’s northeast and ended with the shooter’s death.
According to authorities, the boy first shot his grandparents at home before going to the school and firing on teachers there. Police said five teachers were among the dead.
Al Jazeera reported that at least eight people were killed and 15 others were injured in the incident. The discrepancy in the toll was not immediately explained in the source material.
