BANGKOK – A female teacher died on Thursday (Feb 12) in southern Thailand’s Hat Yai district after a gunman opened fire at a school where she worked, the provincial administration said on social media.<\/p>\n

A 17-year-old used a firearm stolen from a police officer to shoot the teacher, identified as Sasiphat Sinsamosorn, at the Patongprathankiriwat School in Songkhla Province’s Hat Yai district on Wednesday before being detained by police.<\/p>\n

A female student was also shot. Information about her condition has not yet been released.<\/p>\n

Sasiphat, who also served as the school’s director, was taken to an intensive care unit for surgery but died at around 2 am due to internal organ injuries and significant blood loss, the health ministry said.<\/p>\n

The school posted a message of condolence on its Facebook page, saying “although we have lost you, the memories and the goodness you left behind will remain in our hearts forever.”<\/p>\n

Officials said the detained suspect, who has a sister at the school, has a history of substance abuse and was discharged from a psychiatric hospital in December.<\/p>\n

Gun violence and ownership are not uncommon in Thailand. In 2002, a former police officer killed 36 people, including 22 children, in a gun-and-knife attack at a nursery in the east of the country.<\/p>\n
