2025 shooting
On July 28, 2025, a man hijacked a taxi and parked it near Gate 1 at the mall before opening fire on people at the market near a donation point, killing five people, four security guards and a vendor, and injuring two women, before killing himself on a bench.[10][11] The perpetrator was identified as 61-year-old Noi Praidaen, a resident of Khong district, Nakhon Ratchasima.[12] Police said at a press conference that the shooter had a conflict since 2020 with a security guard named "Mr. Nan" at the market after he dropped off his wife to sell dried food at the market and parked his car there, which was slashed.[13]
