Thai Police on Wednesday, detained a senior police officer, who fired multiple gunshots from his home in Bangkok, ending a standoff of over 24 hours after his colleagues tried to take him, to be treated for mental illness.
The Gunman, identified as kiti-karn sangbun, was taken to hospital on Wednesday for an injury after the ordeal. There is no detail on kitikarn's injury and how it was obtained but said no others were injured.
Superintendent of Sai Mai Police Station in Bangkok, Police Colonel Rangsan Sornsing said, that kitikarn’s crazed episode began on Tuesday morning. His superior officer was going to take him to be treated at a mental institute but the situation got out of hand.
Police evacuated and cordoned off the area surrounding kitikarn’s home as they tried several methods to apprehend him.
