a day after a student shot and killed multiple people
at a high school outside Bangkok before killing himself.
More than 20 people were also wounded

Debsirin Nonthaburi School in Nonthaburi province
where the shooting took place at 10 a.m. Friday.
Saturday morning and mourners are seen laying flowers
at the school's entrance.
Local resident Charin Siriananchai drives past the school
each day.
He lays flowers with his 9 and 6-year-old sons.
He says, "Of course everyone is saddened and shocked
because it was unexpected that this would happen in Thailand
and also it's quite a great loss. Although my sons don't attend
the school, I still feel very sad."
Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said on Friday that a student,
who shot several people at a high school outside Bangkok,
had used a gun that was registered at his address.
Antin Charnvirakul, Thai Prime Minister said
The gun is a registered one and it is kept in the house.
Somewhere somehow, we don't know how, this child got access to the gun,
but it is not carried in public on a regular basis.
He confirmed that the 14-year-old gunman lived with his grandparents.
The gunman also shot and killed his grandparents
before the shooting at the school where among those killed
were five members of staff, including teachers and administrators.
Anutin said such an incident must not be allowed to happen again,
noting that the government will promote stricter gun control measures,
and relevant departments must strengthen supervision
of gun ownership situations.
