NONTHABURI: A 13-year-old schoolboy shot dead a classmate he said repeatedly insulted him, at a school on Wednesday morning.

The fatal shooting occurred inside a public school around 8.30am, police said.

Emergency responders found Chonlasit Boonchan, also 13, a Mathayom Suksa 1 student, lying in a pool of blood in front of his classroom. He had a gunshot wound to the right side of his forehead.

Teachers and medics performed CPR on him, but failed to save his life.

The young shooter was caught and taken into custody. Police found a pistol in his shoulder bag, Thai media reported.

The youth told police that Chonlasit had often bullied him, slapping his head and calling him a "toot" - a ladyboy.

He stole his father’s pistol from the house in the morning, and then shot Chonlasit.

He then ran to a bathroom to change clothes, intending to flee, but was caught by teachers and senior students, according to police.
