Aj. Trynh, a criminologist, pointed out that mass shootings are becoming more frequent in Thailand and warned against premature conclusions about the motive behind the school shooting at Thepsirin Nonthaburi, as no evidence has confirmed the perpetrator's motive yet.
On 7 Aug 2026 GMT+7, reporters updated on the shooting at Thepsirin Nonthaburi School. The Nonthaburi Disaster Prevention Agency reported 7 fatalities and 15 injured, as previously covered. The perpetrator, a student, shot himself and was critically injured before dying en route to the hospital.
Regarding this, criminologist Aj. Trynh Phoraksa posted on Facebook that mass shootings in Thailand are increasingly frequent. Beyond learning lessons, stronger preventive measures must be implemented seriously. Mental health is the top priority, as it underlies such incidents, whether triggered by external pressures, upbringing, or genetic predispositions to abnormal violent behavior.
Additionally, Aj. Trynh emphasized that the most important point is not to hastily conclude that the student acted due to "mental illness," "bullying," "grudge against teachers," or "game imitation," since sources have found no evidence confirming these motives.
As for developments at Thepsirin Nonthaburi School, relevant officials are currently inspecting the premises to collect evidence. Updates will be provided as the investigation progresses.
