泰国总理承诺，在一名青少年在曼谷枪杀8人、伤22人后，将引入新的枪支管控法律。这名14岁的少年首先在家中杀害了祖父母，然后前往他所在的Debsirin学校，在那里他是一名学生。在那里，他枪杀了5名教师，然后结束了自己的生命。另一名学生也因伤去世。
事件发生后，总理阿努廷·查恩维拉库尔表示，他希望制定新的法律，限制在公共场所携带枪支。这些法律仅允许在岗政府工作人员携带枪支。
一名泰国学生表示，他当时站在老师面前，老师被枪击。警察上校Thadsakorn Konthong表示，使用的枪支和子弹是少年的祖父提供的。警方在祖父的卧室里发现了枪支被搜查的迹象。
国内外媒体均表示，这把枪是合法注册的，并拥有许可证。
泰国民间枪支众多，约有1030万支，其中约400万支被认为是未经许可拥有的。该国对非法枪支持有有严格的法律法规，最高可判处10年监禁。然而，执法一直是个问题。
