The shooter was identified as a teenager and also reported dead, according to multiple local media reports citing authorities. Local media said 15 people were wounded.
Some reports said police officers had shot and killed the suspect, while others said he had died by suicide.At least 10 students were wounded in a school shooting in a province just north of the Thai capital Bangkok on Friday, local media reported.
Thailand has one of the highest rates of gun ownership in the region, with around 10 million firearms estimated to be in circulation — one for every seven inhabitants.
Past promises of tightening gun laws have not prevented repeated shootings.
Thai police shot and arrested a teenage shooter who opened fire at a school in the south of the country in February, leaving the school principal dead and two students injured.
