A tragic incident occurred in Thailand’s Nonthaburi province, located just north of Bangkok, where a student opened fire at a school on Friday. Reuters reported that police have acknowledged an unconfirmed number of casualties resulting from the shooting.

The incident took place in the Bang Kruai district. Authorities have identified the suspected shooter as a student, but further information regarding the victims, the suspect, or a possible motive remains undisclosed due to the ongoing investigation.

This event adds to a series of school shootings this year, such as the fatal attack at a high school in British Columbia, Canada, which happened in February.

Newsweek has reached out to the U.S. State Department for comments on the situation. Updates will be provided as new details emerge.
