Police have arrested a suspected gunman after the shooting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Bangkok: <\/b><\/p>\n

Thai police on Tuesday said they had arrested a 14-year-old suspected gunman after a shooting at a luxury mall in the capital Bangkok that emergency services said had killed three people and injured four others.<\/p>\n

The Metropolitan Police Detective Department said on its Facebook page that a 14-year-old suspected gunman had been arrested and was being questioned over the incident at the Siam Paragon mall.<\/p>\n

Emergency services shared an image of a police officer apprehending and handcuffing an individual laying face down on the floor.<\/p>\n

The Central Investigation Bureau had earlier posted a grainy image on its Facebook page of an individual they said was the gunman, dressed in khaki cargo pants and a baseball cap.<\/p>\n

Unverified videos shared on social media showed people, including children, running out of the doors of the Siam Paragon mall while security guards ushered them out.<\/p>\n

One of the videos showed people taking cover in a darkened room inside a restaurant, while live television showed long queues of traffic outside the mall in torrential rain.<\/p>\n

Gun violence is not uncommon in Thailand. An ex-police officer killed 22 children in a nursery last year during a gun-and-knife attack, while in 2020 a soldier shot and killed at least 29 people and wounded 57 in a rampage that spanned four locations in and around the northeastern Thai city of Nakhon Ratchasima.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin expressed concern over the incident.<\/p>\n

“I am aware of the shooting event at Siam Paragon and have ordered the police to investigate. I am most worried about public safety,” he posted on X social media.<\/p>\n
