Daily Mail: Beserk soldier kills 21: Thai commando dies in raid on shopping mall where gunman is holed up after his deadly shooting spree while posting selfies on Facebook
* Sergeant Major Jakrapanth Thomma went on a killing spree in Korat, 155 miles from Thai capital Bangkok
* Thomma hijacked an army vehicle, shot an officer and soldiers, and sprayed a volley of bullets at civilians
* He's then believed to have taken hostages at a shopping centre that Thai forces later tonight laid siege to
* Authorities have rescued hundreds of trapped shoppers but suspect still at large in the northeastern city
* There were fears the shooter could try to hide in the panicked crowd as they ran out of the shopping centre
* Thai media said the suspect's mother was being taken to the shopping mall to try to persuade him to give up
* Volleys of gunfire were heard ringing out from inside the besieged mall where the gunman is still holed up
A Thai commando has been killed as security forces desperately try to capture a rogue soldier who has killed at least 21 people in a gun rampage inside a shopping mall - where he is still holed up more than 12 hours after he first struck.
Sergeant Major Jakrapanth Thomma, 32, is hiding out in the Terminal 21 shopping mall in Nakhon Ratchasima, a city 155 miles northeast of Bangkok, after opening fire on terrified civilians this afternoon.
He began his murderous rampage at his barracks, where he executed his commanding officer along with two other soldiers, before commandeering a humvee and tearing away from the scene.

An Islamic terrorist in the Thai Armed Forces.
Russ,
Just do not throw that out there. Back it up.
I found nothing, but that does not mean anything in the age of Fakebook, Twitter, and Google censorship.
Jakrapanth Thomma does not look like a Muslim name, but I am not good with Thai or Muslim names. It would be easier, if this was news story from India for me at least. I've gone to school with enough Indians to have some knowledge of typical names.
Fair enough. Pure supposition on ,my part - at this point. When it comes back that this perp is not a Muslim, but just a random deranged violent murderer, I will acknowledge and apologize.
Infantry trained spree killer with an assault rife = Terminator. He cannot be bargained or reasoned with. He will not stop.
Russ wrong again!
"The police will start collecting evidence at the crime scene and will begin investigations especially on what was the motive behind the attack. It seems like he had an issue with his commanding officer, but there's no indication of why he attacked civilians in broad daylight."
The gunman wrote on his Facebook page earlier in the day that "Death is inevitable for everyone". The suspect also posted a picture of what appeared to be his hand holding a gun.
In posted at 11:55. Now I will defend Russ.
We have seen this too often in Europe where the attacker is Muslims, the agenda is Islam and the elites blame mental illness.
Which begs the question. If they are really, really mentally ill maybe Islam is to blame. Maybe Islam has a statistically higher percentage of mentally ill adherents and maybe Islam is the cause.
I heard over the radio that or read in the DM(?) there was a land dispute.
It is not too far off to consider Islam though, when you here something like this. Thailand had trouble in the Isthmus for about 2 decades. Thailand has had horrible problems with Muslims like Burma, The Phillipines, China, Japan, Europe, pick a place in Africa, ...
Russ is usually right.
After all the French authorities saying "Nothing to do with Islam ... mental illness", people become jaded and disgusted with newspapers and liberals.
A RATHER SIMPLE POST. A soldier, pissed at his bosses, grabs guns and goes beserk...now the nutters rush in with their world-wide wisdom and dump stupid comments, reaching an all time low by saying I agree with Russ.
Stirred up a hornets nest I see. For postulating that this shooter might be a Muslim. He may - we don’t know yet. If it turns out he isn’t I’ll acknowledge it. But I’m rethinking the apology. I’m not really feeling very sorry.
Usually if there is killing in the world, it has to do with Islam.
