Teachers Evacuate Students From School Building After Shooting
Teachers at Thepsirin School in Nonthaburi quickly evacuated students to safety during a shooting on August 7, 2025, with staff barricading classrooms and guiding children past injuries to exit the building.
A parent has shared an account of the moments when teachers helped guide children trapped in classrooms down from the building to safety outside the school. The parent praised all staff members for performing their duties excellently despite being in a dangerous situation. On August 7, 2025, a shooting incident occurred inside Thepsirin School in Nonthaburi, resulting in multiple injuries and deaths. One parent later recounted the events and shared a video clip recorded by their child during the incident, expressing how the footage nearly caused them to panic before reaching the school. The child recounted: "We were in class when we heard gunshots from outside the room. The teacher quickly ran and locked the door just in time, then had all the children crouch under their desks. An injured classmate ran in to take shelter with us. The gunman only walked past. After that, the teacher signaled us to run out of the classroom and down the building, past bloodstains on the stairs, until we safely exited the school. Thank you to relatives who called to encourage me. We will take a long break now and wait for safety measures to be implemented. I want to sincerely thank the teacher in the video who helped call down the children trapped in the classroom and gradually evacuated them from the building, and thank all staff members who performed their duties well even while in a dangerous situation."
