A girl died from critical wounds Saturday after a pupil opened fire at a secondary school and his home outside Bangkok the day before, bringing the death toll from the attack to nine people.
The 14-year-old opened fire at around 10am on Friday at Debsirin Nonthaburi School in Nonthaburi province northwest of the Thai capital before apparently taking his own life.
He also appeared to have killed his two grandparents at his family home earlier in the morning, officials said.
The girl, 12, died after hospitalisation, the Health Ministry said.
The school had posted a message on Facebook on Friday seeking blood donations for two pupils, including the girl.
Fourteen people remain hospitalised, of whom seven remain in critical condition Saturday, according to Thailand’s Health Ministry.
