Issam was the sweetest colleague. He let me take a kitten I was nursing on assignment once, and made it a bed in his helmet. But he always reminded me, whenever I got careless: “Our goal is to cover the news, not become it”. I am so sorry this happened to you my dear Issam. RIP.
#Thailand Social Development & Human Security Minister @TopVarawut following shooting case at #Bangkok#SiamParagon & has deployed multi-disciplinary team to follow up on matter. Urges all not to spread information about suspect gunman as it may fuel more violence/hate #พารากอน
Torsak: @Siam_Paragon did a great job in evacuating ppl to which minimized losses while police officers also reached scene within 5 mins & contained situation. The shooter still had 1 ammo left in gun #siamparagon#กราดยิงพารากอน
Thai Police Chief Torsak Sukvimol told reporters the shooter, who is a minor, has been taken to a police station for further question with presence of social workers, his guardians. At the moment, he’s still in ‘blurry’ state. #พารากอน#กราดยิงพารากอน
