Thai schools step up shooter drills after deadly Aug 7 shooting

Schools in Thailand are stepping up active shooter drills, after a 14-year-old opened fire at a school on Aug 7, killing at least eight people.

The drills follow an education ministry directive signed on Aug 10 by Thailand's education minister, requiring schools to make security plans and rehearse emergency response procedures.

Here’s what one such “run-hide-fight” drill looks like, with a police officer acting as a mock attacker at a secondary school in Bangkok. #thailand #thailandnews
