Teen detained after deadly shooting spree in Bangkok mall

The suspect killed two people and injured five more, Thai officials have said

Two people have been killed and several others injured after a teenage boy opened fire at an upscale shopping center in the heart of Thailand’s capital, officials have confirmed. The suspect has been detained.

The shooting spree unfolded on Tuesday afternoon at the Siam Paragon shopping mall, a sprawling commercial complex in downtown Bangkok, with the young attacker brandishing a handgun before firing on at least seven people. The two fatalities are a 34-year-old Chinese woman and another woman from Myanmar, officials said. Five people were injured, two of them critically.

While initial reports claimed that three people were killed, the death toll has since been revised.
