February mass shooting
On February 8, a Royal Thai Army soldier shot and killed 30 people and injured 57 others. The gunman shot and killed his commander and other soldiers at the Surathampithak army camp in the Isaan province Nakhon Ratchasima. The gunman, Jakrapanth Thomma, then made his way to Korat’s Terminal 21 shopping mall, firing shots at civilians. The gunman was shot dead the next morning by members of a special forces division.
The motive of the killing is believed to have started with an argument between Jakrapanth and his base commander overpaid commissions on a housing project.
