“He stole an army vehicle and drove into the town centre.”
The attack in the northeastern city of Nakhon Ratchasima began late in the afternoon at an army barracks, police told AFP.
Local media reported the gunman seized weapons from the army arsenal before embarking on a shooting spree in the centre of the town. Video and photos circulating online relayed panicked scenes on a main road in the city – which is better known as Korat. In one Facebook video since deleted the assailant, wearing an army helmet, filmed from an open jeep saying, “I’m tired… I can’t pull my finger anymore” and making a trigger symbol with his hand.“The gunman used a machine gun and shot innocent victims resulting in many injured and dead,” spokesman Krissana Pattanacharoen told AFP, adding that the standing toll was “more than 10.”
