At least six people were killed at a market in a shooting incident in the Thai capital, Bangkok, on Monday, a police official said.
'Police are investigating the motive. So far it's a mass shooting,' said Worapat Sukthai, deputy police chief of Bangkok's Bang Sue district where the incident took place.

He said the suspect took his own life after the shooting and police were working to identify him, as well as investigating 'for any possible link' to the current border clashes between Thailand and Cambodia.
Four security guards at the Or To Ko market, which sells agricultural produce and local food, were killed by the gunman, as well as a woman, according to the Erawan Emergency Medical Centre that monitors Bangkok hospitals.
