Mall was shut down and the street outside was closed while the authorities tried to arrest the gunman and rescue shoppers inside

Police and bystanders stand near the scene of a shooting at the Terminal 21 mall, in Korat, Thailand, Saturday, Feb. 8, 2020.A soldier shot multiple people in northeastern Thailand on Saturday, killing at least 16, and was holed up in a popular shopping mall, an emergency worker said.

Noppadol said a rescue team had successfully evacuated more than 100 people from the mall, where they had been trapped for hours. The centre is a voluntary emergency aid organization that helps during accidents and disasters. City and neighbourhood police officers, who asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to release information, said the man took a gun from his base and drove to the Terminal 21 Korat mall, shooting along the way. Several Thai media reported that he travelled in a military vehicle.

A video posted on social media from inside a car before all surrounding streets were shut down shows a man driving while a woman shouts, “What’s happening? Why are they running?”The man believed to be the gunman posted updates to his Facebook page during the rampage with statements including “No one can escape death” and “Should I give up?” In a later post he wrote, “I have stopped already.”

Terminal 21 Korat is part of a small chain of Thai shopping centres run by Bangkok-based property developer LH Mall & Hotel Co. The malls feature floors modeled after major cities around the world.
