An eight-year-old schoolboy was killed when a gang of tech school students opened fire on a bus on Ramkhamhaeng Road on Wednesday morning, police reported.
Police said the shooting took place about 7am.
A group of youths dressed in technical school uniforms followed bus No 113 (Min Buri-Hua Lamphong) on motorcycles along Ramkhamhaeng road.
At an intersection, the students opened fire at the bus, which was fully loaded with passengers, and bullets hit the schoolboy.
The bus driver sped away from the students and stopped at Kasemrat Hospital, where the boy was admitted for treatment, before going to report the attack to police.
The boy, who was later identified as Jatuporn Polpaka, a Grade 3 student at Wat Bampen Nua School, was pronounced dead at the hospital.
