SHOTS FIRED: Three loud bangs resembling gunshots were heard close to the protest site in front of Siam Commercial Bank headquarters just as demonstrators were leaving. A firecracker was also reportedly thrown at them. Reports say at least 1 injured. #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB #Thailand

Traces of what appeared to be handgun bullets were also found at the protest site, suggesting that they were indeed gunshots. Forensic police are at the scene to investigate. #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB #Thailand #KE #WhatsHappeninglnThailand

UPDATE: Reports say the man who fired shots at pro-democracy protesters was arrested at the scene, and police have found the firearm used in the shooting. No other details of the perpetrator so far. #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB #Thailand #KE #WhatsHappeninglnThailand

Reporters at the scene identified the victim as one of the volunteers who provided security to the protesters. He was reportedly shot in his abdomen; he is now at hospital. #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB #Thailand #KE #WhatsHappeninglnThailand

The explosive thrown at the protesters appears to be a pipebomb.

All eyes will be the authorities tomorrow. Will they blame the protesters for "inciting" hatred from those who disagree? Or say it's time to enact special laws to keep order?

Khaosod reporter said the perpetrator was one of 4-5 masked men who were behaving suspiciously close to the protest site. They threw explosive and fired shots upon being questioned by protest guards before fleeing the scene, but 1 of them tripped over and fell. #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB

Police are searching the suspect's belongings as we speak. Will it yield some answers to who they were, and what their motive was? #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB #WhatsHappeningInThailand #KE

UPDATE: A member of the volunteer guards for the protest said two people were shot, not one as reported earlier. Both were sent to hospital. #25พฤศจิกาไปSCB #WhatsHappeningInThailand #KE
