Teen in Thailand shoots eight people dead after viewing violent online content

A 14-year-old boy shot dead eight people in Thailand on Friday in a cold-blooded attack. According to police investigations, he had viewed violent content online, a fact reported by various news outlets.

The investigation into the shooter's background has shown that he developed a growing interest in the use of firearms over the past few years. Witnesses have told police that he cultivated this interest.

Earlier incidents suggest that the boy had previously encountered weapons. Last year, he reportedly brought an air gun to school, which was later confiscated by a teacher.

Before starting his shooting spree, the boy first killed his grandparents, with whom he lived. They were the initial targets of his attack, which escalated into multiple casualties.

Police have interviewed several witnesses to gain more insight into the shooter's motives. This investigation is crucial for understanding how the situation escalated to this point.

Details regarding the boy's online activities and his previous interactions with weapons are expected to be further investigated. Earlier reports indicate a disturbing increase in violent behavior among young people.
