The Major General of Bangkok police said that the suspect, who is 14 year old will be sent to a juvenile court later today, adding that officers were having difficulties communicating with the suspect.
Police said the teenager appeared to have suffered a psychological breakdown and had modified a handgun, which was designed to fire blanks, to allow him to fire live ammunition.
Chaos erupted at Bangkok’s luxury mall close to peak when gunshots rang out, killing two women, from China and Myanmar, and wounding five others, two foreigners and three Thai nationals.
Police said the teenage suspect, who was arrested unharmed later on Tuesday after he put his weapon down, was receiving psychological treatment and had not taken his prescribed medication earlier in the day.
