Thai soldiers stand outside the Terminal 21 shopping mall where a mass shooting took place in the northeastern Thai city of Nakhon Ratchasima on February 9, 2020.Gunfire volleys rang out early Sunday hours after Thai security services stormed a mall where a soldier who killed at least 20 people was believed to still be holed up.
Authorities gave no firm details on the movements of the attacker – a junior army officer identified as Sergeant-Major Jakrapanth Thomma – but radio from emergency services at the scene said the gunmen may be in the basement of the multi-level mall. Earlier Jakrapanth relayed his shooting spree through Facebook posts which charted the attack from army barracks in the city to the mall, where an unknown number of shoppers remained trapped.
The Thai Health Minister told reporters around 10 people were already in hospital in a “critical condition.” There the gunman used weapons stolen from the military arsenal to bring carnage to a town centre, walking into the Terminal 21 mall. “There were loads of people at the mall today,” a 32-year-old from the city said, requesting anonymity.Street lights below the shopping centre were switched off as army and police units sealed off the mall.
