Four killed in Bangkok shooting spree
Four people were killed yesterday and six injured when a Thai gunman went on a shooting spree in a market on the outskirts of Bangkok, police said.
The unidentified man was apparently enraged when police seized his motorcycle, and stalked through a market in Pathumthani province, north of Bangkok, shooting dead a villager, a security guard and a police officer.
After a two-hour pursuit, police shot and killed the gunman, who was wielding an AK-47 and wore night vision goggles, Police Lieutenant Colonel Permkiat Suriyawong told AFP.
