Two people have been killed and one injured after a shooting in Thailand
Officials say a man opened fire at a military facility in Bangkok before the alleged shooter was detained.
A Thai soldier killed two people and wounded one other, police and army officials said.
According to reports from New Straits Times, Sergeant Major Yongyuth Mungkornkim, a clerk at the Royal Thai Army War College, shot three other soldiers.
In the aftermath of the shooting, police officers and soldiers guarded the gates of the facility, part of a large complex of military buildings in the north of the capital.
The cause of the attack remains unknown and authorities are offering their condolences to the families of the victims.
