A young man has reported to police to face charges after posting on Facebook that he wanted to buy a rifle for a shooting spree at shopping mall.  Natthapong Jalaebram, 22, Facebook user Ring HR was accompanied by relatives when he reported to police.

According to Thai media, he posted a message on his page: ”Wanting to buy an AK or an M16 rifle for a price of not more than 100,000 baht. I will use it for a shooting spree at Taweekit Buriram 555’’.

The message frightened netizens, prompting police to track him down via Facebook and find out his real name.
