It was only recently that a school shooting incident happened in Thailand. A 14-year old gunman who killed himself after what he did. This morning, there'a school shooting incident in my country. Surprisingly, it's in one of the prestigious private schools in the country. A junior high school carried two rifles, one M16 and a Glock 9mm. He had his shooting done live and he shot himself right after. It's heartbreaking and very concerning. My son graduated in the same Junior high school but fortunately in a different campus. My nephews and nieces too. That school is a Catholic school and students who go there are privileged ones, coming from affluent families. Makes us wonder how he was able to go through security with two rifles? And one is even a long arm one. Makes me worry for the safety of the kids these days.

This is so sad. I imagine that it's very unusual a shooting in a school in your country. I have the feeling that kids are no more safe in our days.

That's so sad. Those kids have everything. I wonder what would have pushed the kid to do that

This is really saddening and heartbreaking to know. Why did such young kids have access to weapons?

It's terrible and worrisome! Imagine the kind of mental health these children are going through that makes them do such a terrible thing. Mental health is a big concern in today's world.
