A man was arrested following a shooting incident that killed one and injured another in a government office outside Bangkok, days after a student opened fire at his school and family home in the same province, killing at least eight people.

The shooting occurred at around 11am at the offices of the Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organisation on Monday, according to the provincial public relations department.
