Seven people were left dead after a mass shooting in the southern Thai province of Chumphon, AFP reports.
The dreadful incident happened 10 minutes after midnight, when a “heavily” drunk man, identified as Sucheep Sornsung, opened fire on his family members apparently after feeling slighted by his in-laws during the New Year’s party.
“All of the victims were his family members including his nine-year-old son and six-year-old daughter,” a police official said.
The other four victims were two men and two women aged between 47 and 71.
The perpetrator killed himself after the rampage, it is reported.
