In a chilling turn of events, a gunman masquerading as a delivery rider wreaked havoc in Pathum Thani province, leaving two individuals dead and sending shockwaves through the community. The incident unfolded at the unassuming hour of 10:25 p.m. on June 4, transforming the quiet Soi Rong Pui YVP into a scene of turmoil and tragedy.
Outside the unsuspecting house number 129/15 in Mueang Rangsit subdistrict, a group of friends were enjoying a convivial evening. Their gathering was shattered by the arrival of a figure under the guise of a delivery rider who opened fire on the unsuspecting drinkers. The chaos didn’t stop there. As the injured were whisked away to Lat Lum Kaeo Hospital for urgent care, the relentless assailant pursued them on a motorcycle, continuing his assault at the hospital’s entrance.
The chilling aftermath saw two lives cruelly cut short. Mana Sisang, a dedicated firefighter of 32 years, and Narin Asa, a mortuary worker of the same age, tragically succumbed to gunshot wounds to the body and head. Preliminary investigations have described the suspect as a man clad in a green delivery uniform, riding a white Honda Wave motorcycle. His weapon remains unidentified, as does his motive for the grisly attack.
Amidst the chaos, Police Lieutenant Colonel Saksit Boonrak, alongside Major General Yutthana Chonkhun and forensic officers from the Ministry of Justice, undertook the grim task of piecing together the scene of violence. At the entrance to the hospital, more than twelve bullet casings lay scattered, painting a grim picture of the night’s horror. Astonishingly, while bullets shattered outpatient building windows, the patients inside were miraculously unharmed.
The blood-spattered scene extended to a red Isuzu pickup truck, its windows punctured by gunfire. Within the truck’s bed, traces of blood and a forlorn bullet casing bore witness to the panic-stricken escape attempt by victims. Meanwhile, Watthanapong, a 44-year-old volunteer from Por Teck Tung Foundation, recounted the harrowing pursuit from the pickup truck to the emergency room.
Among the chaos, Virat, a 33-year-old pickup driver, recollected the night’s surreal events. He and his companions, enjoying a simple evening outside, were suddenly confronted by the gunman. Posing initially as a delivery rider with a phantom order, the mood quickly darkened as he revealed a firearm, unleashing terror upon the assembled group. Rushing the wounded to the hospital proved an impossible escape, with the gunman cruelly ambushing them once more at the hospital threshold.
As witnesses filled in pieces of the narrative, the suspect emerged as a menacing figure on a Honda Wave 125i, delivery box in tow. Somsak Chonniyom, the 42-year-old village head, was shaken by the senseless violence disturbing an otherwise peaceful neighborhood—a place where friends and families often gathered in harmony.
While the motive remains cloaked in mystery, early speculations hint at a possible love triangle enflaming passions to an unspeakable end. As Lieutenant Colonel Saksit Boonrak continues to gather testimonies and evidence, the quest to unveil the truth behind the horrific incident forges ahead.
The shocking attack in Pathum Thani resonates as a somber reminder of unforeseen violence that can shatter everyday life in an instant. As the investigation deepens, justice seeks to untangle the threads of motive, and a community grapples with loss and the quest for answers.
This tragic event highlights the growing insecurity in neighborhoods that once felt completely safe. How can we ever feel secure again when even delivery riders are suspect?
We need stricter laws on gun control or incidents like this will only increase. It’s about time we prioritize safety over access to weapons.
I agree, but what about the argument that gun control doesn’t stop criminals? How do we protect ourselves if not everyone has access to guns?
Gun control isn’t a magic bullet, pun unintended, but it’s a step towards reducing these tragedies. We have to start somewhere.
Why does everyone assume this is about a love triangle? Could be drugs or organized crime. It’s too early to jump to conclusions without facts.
Yeah, it’s reckless to speculate when the investigation is ongoing. Let’s not spread rumors when two families are grieving.
So tragic! It makes me think twice about ordering food delivery! You never know what’s behind that uniform.
What a terrifying state of affairs. The courage of the survivors and those who helped should be celebrated too.
Unbelievable that something like this could happen at a hospital! Where’s the security when we need it most?
Hospitals often lack strict security measures because they weren’t designed to be fortified. It’s a sad realization that might need to change.
Maybe it’s time hospitals are equipped with better security systems. We can’t keep pretending these are isolated incidents.
Pathum Thani will never be the same. We need community healing and support as they deal with this trauma.
The Force is not with us. This senseless violence shows how low we have fallen. Humanity needs saving.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a planned hit. Why else would he pursue them to the hospital? It’s beyond just random violence.
Interesting perspective. There might be more than meets the eye. Thorough investigations can unearth hidden agendas.
Think of the kids in this community. How will they cope with the ongoing fear after such violence?
Did anyone ever find out why he was wearing a delivery uniform? Disguise for a quick escape?
Could be. Disguises are common in premediated crimes to throw off witnesses and cameras.
Yeah, it makes it all the more chilling. Even ordinary symbols like uniforms can now instill fear.
Reminds me of movie plots but this is real life and therefore terrifying. Hope they catch the guy fast.
This stuff isn’t new. Just media sensationalizing violence. Happens every day in some quarters, just not here.
Cameras all over the streets, yet no ID on the suspect? Are they hiding something, or does the system really lack efficiency?
May the families of the deceased find peace. It’s just so sad that lives are lost in such pointless ways.
Heartfelt sentiments, Hannah. It’s a tough road ahead for those grieving. Community support is key.
Empathy and community involvement can at least provide some solace, if not complete healing.
