Thailand School Shooting Sparks Gun Control Push | Johannesburg News

A kindergarten teacher was fatally shot inside a school in eastern Thailand, with her husband suspected as the gunman—prompting an immediate lockdown, evacuation of 47 people, and police siege at his home. The governor ordered the school closed and deployed mental health teams to support traumatized students and staff. This tragedy reignites national debate over gun violence, following recent shootings—including one by a teen last August—and a surge in school safety concerns. Thailand is now reviewing firearm permits and halting new purchases amid rising calls for stricter gun control, despite already strict laws and high gun ownership rates.
