Gang kills one and injures five
A 25-year-old Thai man from Bangkok was attacked and killed by gunshot at the Sweet Zone Pub in Koh Samui. Four of his friends, and his brother, were also injured in the incident involving members of the “Red Dragon Gang” of Koh Samui. The attackers were reportedly teenage boys.
The young men from Bangkok were dancing at the pub when some of the gang members started flirting with their female companions. The young men confronted the gang members and told him to leave the girls alone. The gang members left the pub but waited outside.
When the group of boys left the pub later that evening, five or six of the gang members were waiting outside. After a short exchange of words, the Red Dragon gang members pulled out guns and started shooting, witnesses said. The pub’s surveillance camera caught all of the action on tape. Police said the recording would help identify and convict the young shooters.
Among the boys shot was the son of one of Thailand’s Democratic members of parliament. Koh Samui police said the shootings were ruthless and vowed to find and convict the gang members.
