A gunman killed five security guards and wounded three other people in a mass shooting at a popular fresh food market in Thailand’s capital, police said.
The suspect opened fire with a “gun-type weapon” at the Or Tor Kor Market in Bangkok’s Bang Sue district at 12.31pm (local time), policesaid, before taking his own life.
The shooting stemmed from a personal dispute, with the suspect – a former market employee – holding a long-running grudge against one of the security guards.
“We obtained this information from his wife’s testimony,” officer Sayam Boonsom told reporters at the scene.
Or Tor Kor Market is a short distance from Chatuchak market, a major tourist destination in Bangkok attracting throngs of visitors every weekend.
