Drunk Thai soldier shoots police officer

A police officer was shot in the chest as he tried to pull an inebriated soldier out of the vehicle. The drunk soldier also fired at and injured a bystander in Chonburi on Friday (July 3).


Chonburi Police learned of the incident at 2am and showed to up find police officer Rit-rong Yasawut, 33, fatally injured. Inebriated soldier sergeant Jirat Katanyoo, 23, was lying next to him.


Also nearby was bystander Adun Chansaeng, 50, nursing a gun wound on his right arm. Also the soldier’s girlfriend Sutthina Wuttichai, 23. She told police that Jirat was drunk before driving, which resulted in the car flipping.


Officer Rit-rong then showed up to try and rescue him, but Jirat began firing at him, Thai Media reported.


Tragically the police officer succumbed to his injuries at Hospital, where the other two were also taken for treatment.


Police believe Jirat may have drunk so much that he started hallucinating that the rescuer was coming to attack him. Regardless, Jirat has been charged of murder.

I'd bet on 'yabba'.

Drunk Thai guys with guns.
Not a good mix.

I'd bet on the whole 'hallucinations' thing being bullshit, and he just wanted to avoid getting nicked for driving arseholed.

23 yr old Thai soldier, pissed out of his head while with his gun, girlfriend and car.


Yeah, I'll give that one a miss.

soldiers, policemen, alcohol, car crashes, late nights and weapons.
