Police responded to a shooting at a high school outside Bangkok on Friday, where deaths and injuries were reported.
The shooting happened at Debsirin Nonthaburi School in Nonthaburi province, northwest of the national capital, said Royal Thai police spokesperson Trairong Piwpan.
The shooter was a student who remained inside the school, Arsit Sampantharat, permanent secretary for the interior ministry, told news station PPTV.
The officials did not say how many people were killed and hurt or provide other details.
Images from the scene showed people standing outside the school comforting one another.
In February, a 17-year-old stole a gun from police and opened fire at a public high school in southern Thailand, briefly taking people hostage in a two-hour attack that left one person dead and two others injured.
