ទាហានព្រំដែនម្នាក់ត្រូវបានគេប្រទះឃើញស្លាប់បន្ទាប់ពីបាញ់ M16 នៅទីសាធារណៈ
A soldier at a base bordering Cambodia was found dead in Surin province near the location where he fired about a dozen shots of an M16 rifle in public, as the Royal Thai Army investigates whether the motive is linked to duty stress.
Pvt Ratthaphum Thepsiri's body was discovered in a bush near Wat Ban Khuen Kaew in Kap Choeng district about 10 hours after the incident.
The 25-year-old fired 12 bullets in public, injuring two men, according to the army.
It is believed he committed suicide after the incident, which occurred around 12.45am.
Pvt Ratthaphum had left the 1,623rd Infantry Company in Kap Choeng with an assault rifle and ammunition without authorisation.
He later fired on a road near the temple, injuring Wutthana Naprakoan, 35, and Anuwat Singchai, 32.
Mr Anuwat was severely injured and treated at Prasat Hospital, while Mr Wutthana was taken to Surin Hospital, the provincial public health office reported.
The army was working with police to determine the motive.
Surin has been a battleground in the ongoing clashes between Thailand and Cambodia.
