According to the police investigation, during the match, several men wearing football jerseys but not participating in the match ran onto the field with two guns. One of the men then fired several shots at the people around 200 participating in the football activity, causing them to flee in panic. The men then ran back to their motorcycles and drove away.
The police also found that the guns used in the crime were blank guns, which were purchased from the internet for 4,000 baht. They are still investigating the case to identify other suspects.
The manager of the stadium, Mr. Thanat Thanasatitporn, 38, filed a complaint demanding compensation for the damage caused by the shooting. Preliminary inspection found damage to the roof and steel beams at least in three places. He will need to discuss with the police about ways to prevent such incidents in the future, especially regarding firearms and other weapons.
