Chilling footage captures mass shooter calmly carrying gun before killing 5 in Thai market
A gunman shot dead five people in a busy market in Thailand on Monday — with chilling video capturing him calmly walking with the gun in his hand just before the mass shooting.
The unidentified killer was seen wearing a T-shirt and shorts as he walked toward a market in the capital, Bangkok, with a handgun in his right hand and a large backpack worn to cover his chest and stomach, according to the clip obtained by The Sun.
It showed him walking through a car parking lot toward Or Tor Kor Market, where he gunned down five people — before turning the gun on himself, officials said.
The dead were four security guards and one merchant, according to Siam Bunsom, the commander in chief of Bangkok’s Metropolitan Police Bureau. Two women were also wounded.
No tourists were killed or injured, police officials said.
The suspect opened fire among the stalls next to the Chatuchak Weekend Market in the capital, Bangkok, at around 12:30 pm local time. ViralPress
