The incident took place yesterday at Watkhem School in the city of Nakhon Pathom, located just outside Bangkok. The gunman, identified as a 38-year-old male, entered the school premises armed with a handgun, causing panic among students and staff.

The quick response from law enforcement ensured the safety of the students and staff, bringing the situation to a peaceful resolution.
Both the school administration and local residents have commended the efforts of the police in handling the crisis effectively and preventing further harm. As the investigation continues, more details are expected to emerge regarding the circumstances that led to the school siege.
