A 12-year-old girl died Saturday from wounds sustained in the Thailand school shooting, raising the reported toll from the attack outside Bangkok to at least eight. Police said the 14-year-old student first killed his grandparents at their home with his grandfather’s handgun, then went to Debsirin Nonthaburi School and opened fire around 10 a.m. Officials said more than 20 people were injured, with several in critical condition, and the attacker later killed himself. Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul vowed to introduce stricter gun-control laws.
