It is a sad fact that shootings are commonplace here in Pattaya and in the early hours of Saturday Morning, Banglamung Police received reports of a shooting which had taken place close to the Nongprue Temple School, east of Pattaya. The victim, aged only 16 was taken to Banglamung Hospital suffering from a single gun shot wound to her left arm. Her friend, Khun Pacharee aged 23, who remained at the scene to explain the incident to Police, revealed that she was riding as passenger on a bike driven by her boyfriend with the 16 year old girl following behind on a further bike. Suddenly, two men with their faces concealed with helmets, pulled up beside Khun Pacharee and pointed a gun at her and demanded she and her boyfriend had over valuables and the keys to the bike.
The young girl driving behind saw this and screamed for help which led the armed assailant to turn and shoot in her direction. Descriptions of the two men and their bike were vague but Police will do their best to find them. They were able to escape with Khun Pacharee’s motorbike and valuables.
