Claim 4: “The total number of victims of the shooting incident at a secondary school in Thailand's Nonthaburi province north of Bangkok has risen to nine, including the attacker himself”
CORROBORATED
Multiple sources confirm the death toll. Wikipedia states the shooter killed six people and himself (7 total), but other reports specify he killed his two grandparents and five teachers, plus himself, totaling 8. One source mentions 'eight killed including suspected attacker'. The claim of 'nine' is closely aligned with the reported deaths of 5 teachers, 2 grandparents, the shooter, and the 12-year-old student mentioned in claim 1 (5+2+1+1=9).
