From Thai PBS World

Two vocational students have been held for questioning for alleged involvement in a brawl with rival students, culminating in the fatal shooting of one student and injury to another. The incident took place on Thursday in Sukhumvit Soi 101/1 in the Phra Khanong district of Bangkok.

Pol Maj-Gen Noppasilp Poonsawat, deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, told a press conference today that 14 vocational students, including nine underage youths and five adults, were involved in the fatal incident.

He said that four were armed, but only one .38 calibre pistol has been recovered from the house of a friend of the alleged shooter.

The two suspects told the police investigators that their group, with the support of their seniors, plotted to start trouble with students from a rival school, to gain recognition from their seniors.

Police are compiling evidence to seek warrants for the arrests of the other students.

no doubt peaceful Buddhist principles are compromised tragically here. This type of  cases in Thailand are way too common sadly, not long ago we heard about similar in Khlong Toey

It seems that there are organised fights between different  schools. I think there have been  several deaths recently,  including a teacher,  shot by accident.
