Forgiveness at a temple as Thailand mourns a 12-year-old mass shooting victim
At a temple north of Bangkok, the parents of 12-year-old victim Naphat Chaimar mourn as the father of the 14-year-old shooter kneels to ask for their forgiveness; Patchat Yimruang had killed his grandparents and then shot students and staff at Debsirin Nonthaburi School before taking his own life, bringing the toll to nine. The tragedy has prompted national mourning, with wreaths from the king and queen and royal patronage for the victims’ families, as Naphat’s family remembers her dreams and the impact of the loss.
