BANGKOK (The Nation/ANN): The suspect in the Pathum Thani hospital shooting case reportedly told police that he was bullied in a boot camp, which angered him to go on Thursday's (June 24) shooting spree.

The suspect, Kawin Saengnilkul, 23, accused of double homicide, early on Thursday allegedly fired multiple shots through a glass door in Thanyarak Hospital in Pathum Thani province and then shot dead a 54-year-old Covid-19 patient who was getting out of the toilet, before fleeing the scene.
