A 14-year-old has been arrested after three people were killed in a shooting at a shopping centre in Thailand.

Hundreds of people were seen fleeing the Siam Paragon Mall – a luxury shopping centre in Bangkok.

Emergency services said three people had been killed and three wounded, while Thai police said the suspect is just 14 years old.

Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin posted on X: “I am aware of the shooting event at Siam Paragon and have
ordered the police to investigate. I am most worried about public safety,”

Gun violence is common in Thailand. Last year, an ex-police officer killed 22 children in a nursery shooting.
