Bangkok: Rescue workers from two well-known foundations were involved in a shooting incident on Lat Phrao Road, injuring three people. The incident is suspected to be a dispute over the injured person.

Upon arrival, authorities found a pool of blood and five bullet casings scattered across the road. Three individuals were injured in the incident: Mr. Jirayut, aged 27, sustained a gunshot wound to the neck, and Mr. Akkaradet, aged 36, suffered a gunshot wound above the left nipple. Both men are volunteers with the Ruamkatanyu Foundation and were transported to Lat Phrao Hospital. Ms. Chitthiwa, aged 25, a volunteer with the Siam Ruam Jai Foundation, was also injured and taken to Nopparat Rajathanee Hospital.

Investigations revealed that both groups of rescue workers arrived at the scene following a motorcycle accident report at the entrance to Soi Lat Phrao 122.
