Nonthaburi village in shock after motorcycle shooting spree
A sudden series of shootings left residents of a Nonthaburi village in shock when a man on a motorcycle fired shots at four houses. Despite having no prior conflicts, homeowners were bewildered and frightened by the unprovoked attacks. Local police are now investigating.
Yesterday, November 17, a concerning event unfolded in Bang Bua Thong, Nonthaburi, as reported by Yanyong Kamjai, a member of the Phimonrat Municipal Council. A middle-aged man on a motorcycle entered a village, brandishing a firearm and proceeded to shoot at four houses. This incident prompted Yanyong to investigate the scene further.
An employee at a nearby curtain shop, 35 year old Narueamon recounted her terrifying experience. While shopping near the entrance at around 11am, she heard six gunshots. Turning to look, she saw a large, intimidating man on a motorcycle emerging from the alley, locking eyes with her.
The encounter left her frightened. After the man departed, she checked the CCTV footage. The footage revealed the man initially riding into the alley and glaring at her house before turning and firing an unknown gun at her property.
Narueamon, still shaken from the incident revealed that she never had issues with anyone in the area, expressing her confusion over the ordeal and why would someone shoot at her house.
Across the village, 66 year old Napasara, another homeowner, shared her account. During the occurrence, she heard what sounded like gunfire outside her house six times. Initially dismissive of the noise, she was later informed by a neighbour about the shooting.
Upon reviewing her CCTV footage, it confirmed a person firing a gun at the house opposite hers. Napasara was baffled as there were no known conflicts in their peaceful neighbourhood.
Yanyong, after receiving numerous reports from the villagers, arrived to assess the situation. The CCTV review showed a tall, large man on a blue motorcycle entering the alley and firing shots at four homes.
Yanyong speculated it might have been an intimidation attempt or a misdirected attack, as surprisingly, none of the targeted houses bore bullet marks. This led to the suspicion that the man might have been using practice bullets or a BB gun.
In response to these unsettling events, Yanyong plans to accompany the victims to the Bang Bua Thong Police Station to file a formal complaint and pursue legal action against the perpetrator, reported KhaoSod.
