The death toll from the shooting incident north of Bangkok has risen to seven, according to Israeli media reports quoting local sources. The update marks the latest in a series of escalating casualty figures reported since the attack unfolded this morning in Nonthaburi province.
Initial reports at 06:25 Jerusalem time said a student opened fire at a school in Bang Kruai, wounding two other students. Within the same hour, The Zioneer reported fatalities, then identified a teacher among the dead, and confirmed that the student shooter died by suicide. Subsequent updates raised the toll to four, including staff and students, and now to seven. The evolution of the count reflects the chaotic nature of the scene as authorities continued to gather information.
Thailand has seen other security incidents in recent weeks. The Zioneer reported on July 15 that a fire at a pub in Bangkok killed 32 people, and on July 23 that an attack in southern Thailand left five soldiers dead and six wounded.
The circumstances of the shooting remain under investigation, and the final death toll and the shooter's motive have not been confirmed by official Thai authorities.
