BANGKOK - For over an hour, Mr Tai Huang crouched in the dark behind the furniture in a cafe in Bangkok’s Siam Paragon shopping mall.
As a lone gunman opened fire in one of Bangkok’s busiest luxury shopping malls on Tuesday, hundreds ducked for cover throughout the nine-storey complex, while others fled through its multiple exits. Tuesday’s shooting also elicited widespread panic on social media. Videos and posts about the incident, showing crowds running and the sound of gunshots, started circulating online, and as police cordoned off the entrances and exits to the mall.
When The Straits Times arrived on the scene at around 4.45pm, amid pouring rain, police outside the mall were directing people, including families with children, out of the mall. Traffic on the main stretch of road was gridlocked.
