Following the midnight report of the shooting at Krua Yeera Restaurant, police and rescue workers found four injured men at the venue in Bangkok.
One man sustained a bullet wound on his right ankle and a taser burn to his right eye; another was shot in the mouth; another was shot in his right wrist and suffered a burn wound near his right eye and one sustained a gunshot to the chest. All four were rushed to Siriraj Hospital.
One of the customers told police that he and the four injured men were having a meal and drinks at the restaurant.
The venue’s musicians were playing music and as the restaurant was about to close, the group went on stage to dance and were cheering with other guests when a group of five men seated near the stage, including two uniformed soldiers, attacked the group with a taser and two pistols before fleeing the scene on two motorcycles and in a Toyota sedan.
Police collected evidence at the scene including fingerprints on glasses that the alleged attackers had held, while examining CCTV footage to determine the suspects’ escape route.
A police source said the alleged attackers might be soldiers who provided security to a businessman and former army officer, adding that police were negotiating the assailants’ surrender.
