On 7 August 2026 GMT+7, the People's Party Facebook page posted a message expressing deep condolences to those who died and were injured in the shooting at Thepsirin School Nonthaburi this morning (7 Aug). The party also sent support to the families of the victims, as well as to the students, teachers, and staff affected by the incident.
The People's Party added that although the motive behind the attack is still unclear, the violent incident at an educational institution—one of society’s safest places—serves as a warning for Thai society to seriously and systematically review gun control measures. This should be accompanied by enhanced security protocols in places with large public gatherings, such as schools and hospitals, to prevent similar events in the future.
The People's Party expressed support for all officials handling the situation with caution and sensitivity to resolve it promptly and assist those affected. They are also preparing plans to provide relief to all parties who have suffered losses.

He sent his support to the families of the victims as well as to the students, teachers, and staff who endured the ordeal.
Natthapong added that although the motive behind the shooting remains unclear, the violent act at an educational institution—which should be one of society’s safest places—is a warning for Thai society to collectively review gun control measures seriously and systematically. This should go hand in hand with raising security standards at schools to prevent such incidents from recurring.

We urge the public to follow official information from relevant agencies and to avoid sharing unverified information that could interfere with officials’ work," Natthapong said.
