The 'pings' from the metal targets at a gun range ring out as a baby-faced shooter smiles for the camera -- a chilling prelude to the mall massacre by a Thai soldier who shared his prowess as a marksman on social media.

What is known is the gunman was a Sargeant-Major from Chaiyaphum province with a penchant for posting photos and videos with weapons and combat gear on Facebook -- a social media obsessive with no filter for his love of guns. He first stole weapons from the camp's arms depot, killing a soldier as he raided the arsenal -- a place he knew well after working as a squad leader there.

"Getting rich from cheating, taking advantage from others, they must think that money can be spent in hell," he wrote.
