Thailand is grappling with one of its deadliest school shootings in years after a 14-year-old student opened fire at a school in Nonthaburi province near Bangkok. CCTV footage reportedly shows the teenager firing at classmates at Deepsin Nonthaburi School.

At least nine people have been killed, including school staff and a 12-year-old girl, while more than 30 people were injured. The teenager later died after shooting himself. Authorities are also investigating reports that he allegedly killed his grandparents before going to the school.

Police are investigating how the teenager accessed a registered handgun belonging to his grandfather, while a large quantity of ammunition was reportedly found in his school bag. Investigators are examining his online activity, relationships, possible bullying and reports that he had researched an American school shooting case.

The prime minister also shared details from a conversation with a musician who was performing at the pub when the incident began. According to Anutin, the musician said he noticed smoke coming from a circuit breaker near the stage before the electricity suddenly went out. Moments later, an explosion was heard and thick smoke rapidly spread throughout the venue.&nbsp;Many victims were discovered in the pub's restrooms and at the rear of the building, Anutin said, as smoke and flames made escape difficult. Authorities are now investigating whether electrical issues or other safety failures contributed to the tragedy. The incident has renewed concerns over fire safety standards at entertainment venues in Thailand, which has experienced similar disasters in previous years.&nbsp;In 2022, 14 people were killed in a fire at a music pub in eastern Thailand. More than a decade earlier, 66 people died and over 200 were injured during a New Year's Eve fire at the Santika nightclub in Bangkok on January 1, 2009. That blaze was reportedly linked to an indoor fireworks display. Officials are expected to conduct further inspections as investigations into the Bangkok pub fire continue.
