Mystery Surrounds Two Shooting Incidents on Beach Road - Pattaya People

In the early hours of Wednesday, Pattaya Police was called out by the Sawang Boriboon Rescue Team to Beach Road near Soi 8 to investigate a shooting incident. A Mr. Wuttipong aged 27 had been shot three times and was found unconscious. He was given first aid and then rushed to nearby Pattaya Memorial Hospital. On searching the area, an officer found a 9mm gun in the sea near the shore. At the hospital, officers came across another man named Pradit, who had also been shot by an unknown man at a bar on Soi 7. Pradit died of his wounds, and police believe because he looked very similar to Wuttipong, he was mistakenly shot by the gunman believing he was Wuttipong. The two cases are being investigated to find out if there is any connection.

Riot Breaks Out at Pattaya Police Station - Pattaya People

Pattaya police had to stop a confrontation at their police station in the early hours of Wednesday morning, when a Turkish man and his Thai girlfriend confronted a Thai couple after an earlier motorcycle accident near Chaimongkol temple. This incident caused the Turk and the Thai male rider to begin a fight at the accident scene, until police stopped them and brought them back to the police station. However, the fighting broke out again as the Turk unexpectedly stood up and punched the Thai man and the police had to separate them once again. Once they calmed down they were both called back for interrogation. But yet again the Turk attacked the Thai, until the Thai’s friends who had gathered inside the station in retaliation began beating up the Turk, and police had to separate the whole group, who were all charged with inciting a riot and were a danger to the public.
