Kamphaeng Phet School Director Denies Cover-up of Student Shooting, Father Cites Illness and Bullying

A student shooting incident has occurred at a prominent school in Kamphaeng Phet province, northern Thailand. According to MGR Online (Regional) reports, the school director has denied any cover-up of the incident. Regarding the background of the incident, the father of the student involved suggested that his son may have been suffering from an illness, might have been subjected to bullying by friends, and that an ill-considered social media post could have contributed to the incident. Amid growing concerns about the rise of violent crimes committed by minors in Thailand, this incident is likely to reignite discussions about school safety management systems and the provision of mental health support for students. While the school authorities have indicated their commitment to a thorough investigation and transparent disclosure of facts, the local community is calling for a full uncovering of the truth and enhanced preventive measures.
