WHAT HAPPENED

A former Thai lawmaker has admitted shooting a senior government official at a ministry office over a money dispute, police said. The incident, which occurred days after Thailand’s deadliest shooting in nearly four years, is the country’s second armed attack in a short period, according to Deutsche Welle.

Police reports confirm that the ex‑MP, who previously served in parliament, confessed to the shooting. The gunman fired at a senior official in a government office, sparking a rapid police investigation. The motive was cited as a financial disagreement, although no details of the debt were released. Al Jazeera reports the incident as Thailand’s second shooting within days, underscoring the rapid succession of violent events.

The event follows a deadly attack earlier this month that killed multiple people, marking the most lethal shooting in the country in nearly four years. Together, the two incidents raise concerns about rising violence and the security of public officials in Thailand.

  • Former lawmaker confessed to shooting a senior official over a money dispute.
  • Police say the incident is the second shooting in Thailand within days of the deadliest attack in four years.
  • No public details of the financial dispute or the victim’s name are currently available.
