Student thought gunshots were firecrackers at first

One student told Reuters that he had thought the sound of gunshots during the school shooting were firecrackers going off, or someone banging something. "I didn't think it was a gun at first," he said. "There were many shots: bang bang bang. Then it went quiet. Then it started again." Students were seen fleeing from the school shooting site, and staff members from the Debsirin Nonthaburi School looked visibly distraught waiting outside the school.
