On a Friday morning in Nonthaburi province, just north of Bangkok, gunfire shattered the ordinary rhythms of school life when a student opened fire at Debsirin Nonthaburi School, leaving an uncertain number dead and wounded. Authorities confirmed the shooter was a student but could not yet say why, or how many lives had been taken. The incident arrives less than six months after a similar attack in Hat Yai, pressing Thailand to reckon with a pattern that once felt foreign to its schools.
