Fine Arts official's car fired upon
Unknown assailants opened fire on a car belonging to Fine Arts Office 3 director Supoj Phrommanote at his residence, police said yesterday.
Responding to a report of a shooting at 10am, police went to the compound housing officials’ living quarters at Phra Nakhon Sri Ayutthaya Historic Park. At Supoj’s residence they found the car, whose rear end was riddled with five gunshots. Police collected three bullet casings near the car.
Compound guard Udom Thathi, 35, said he heard gunshots on Thursday evening and went to investigate. He saw two young men in a black sedan coming in the opposite direction.
Supoj said he didn’t hear anything and found the damaged car in the morning. He believed the incident stemmed from a conflict at work, not a personal issue, but declined to elaborate as he was scheduled to move to Fine Arts Office 12 in Nakhon Ratchasima’s Pimai district on Monday.
