Issan Restaurant Owner Suspected of Shooting Wife, Stepson, and Nephew – VIDEO

A restaurant owner in Issan’s northeastern Maha Sarakham province has surrendered to police after allegedly shooting dead his wife and stepson. Police were alerted to the shooting incident at a restaurant in the province’s main city district last night. They arrived at the scene to find the alleged shooter, identified as 31-year-old Udomsak Thepharat, had locked himself inside.

Police found Udomsak’s nephew, 18 year old Pholkrit Chukerd, shot in the back and lying in front of the building. He was rushed to Maha Sarakham Hospital and is now in stable condition.

More than 100 police cordoned off the scene and negotiators spent around 3 hours persuading the alleged shooter to turn himself in. Eventually, Udomsak surrendered..

Udomsak reportedly fired a warning shot to discourage officials against getting too close. Dramatic video from Nation Thailand above.
