Tragedy at the Kindergarten: Thailand's Gun Violence Epidemic Reaches New Depths The shooting of a police officer's wife at a kindergarten in Chonburi province, southeast of Bangkok, has left Thailand reeling once again.
On September 9th, a man with a gun – one of over 1 million licensed firearms on the streets of this Southeast Asian nation – committed an act of unimaginable horror, sparking outrage and concern about the country's lax gun laws.
This incident is not isolated. Just last month, a teenager shot his grandparents, then five staff members and a pupil at his school before taking his own life.
