A thirty-seven-year-old man is in critical condition after suffering from a gunshot wound in Nongprue this afternoon (Oct 12).

The Nongprue Police were notified of the incident at 5:30 PM at a local shop near a shipyard on the side of the Thung Klom – Tanman Road.

Police, emergency responders and The Pattaya News arrived at the scene to find an injured man, Mr. Son Kuengsamrong, 37, from Kanjanaburi. He is a staffer at the shipyard.
