A gunman killed five people at a market in Bangkok, Thailand, on Monday, attacking security guards and a merchant before turning the gun on himself. Siam Bunsom, commander-in-chief of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, said the gunman initially killed three security guards and then a fourth with whom he had a personal quarrel. Video footage shared by police showed the suspect walking through a parking lot at the Or Tor Kor Market. No tourists were killed or injured, according to Sanong Saengmani, a police official in Bangkok’s Bang Sue district. Gun violence and gun ownership are not uncommon in Thailand, with previous incidents involving a 14-year-old suspect and a former police officer.
