Thai police are conducting active shooter drills in schools as concerns grow over an increase in school shootings across Southeast Asia. The exercises aim to prepare students for potential incidents, according to the BBC.
One such drill took place at a high school in Bangkok, with Thai police leading the training. The initiative comes after a 14-year-old boy killed eight people and injured 22 others at a school in Thailand's Nonthaburi province in August. This incident, among others, has heightened anxieties about school safety in the region.
