The gunfight between officers and Surachai Chainan, 26, happened shortly after the Lop Buri police chief gave a shoot-to-kill order if the suspect resisted arrest. Surachai allegedly stole a pistol from an Army shooting range in Lop Buri and killed his own father, an Army sergeant, on Monday. Police were alerted that Chainan had been spotted at a resort in Sing Buri’s In Buri district at 8am. When police arrived at the resort, the suspect tried to flee on a motorcycle but officers blocked the way from both sides. He was sent to Sing Buri Hospital where he was under close observation.
