“Police are investigating the motive. So far it’s a mass shooting," news agency AFP quoted Worapat Sukthai as saying.
Sukthai said the suspect killed himself after the shooting, and police were working to identify him. The cop added that they were investigating “for any possible link" to the border clashes between Thailand and Cambodia.
