A soldier who holed up in a popular shopping mall in northeastern Thailand shot multiple people on Saturday, killing at least 20 and injuring 31 others, officials said. Shortly before midnight, police announced they had secured the mall in the city of Nakhon Ratchasima. A police officer contacted by phone in Nakhon Ratchasima said the soldier initially shot dead another soldier and a woman and wounded a third person, apparently over a land dispute. Several Thai media reported that he traveled in a military vehicle. The incident came just a month after another high-profile mall shooting in the central Thai city of Lopburi.
