Thai police storm mall after soldier kills at least 20 in mass shooting | World news | The Guardian

Police believe gunman, named as Jakrapanth Thomma, is still inside shopping centre in Nakhon Ratchasima

Thai police and soldiers have stormed a shopping mall where a gunman is believed to be hiding after a mass shooting in the north-eastern city of Nakhon Ratchasima, which has killed 20 people and left many injured.

Police believe the shooter, a soldier who stole guns from a military base on Saturday afternoon before livestreaming a mass shooting, is still inside a large shopping centre in the city. Officers have not confirmed reports that up to 20 people have been taken hostage inside the mall, Terminal 21, but advised anyone trapped to mute their phone and try to hide.
=======================================================
'Try to hide' is not very reassuring advice from the police. The cops are probably trying to hide as well.

This is strong evidence that most countries have loony-tunes with assault weapons & that random violence is indeed just random.
 
I'm not sure even an unarmed and untrained population should be advised merely to hide.

what is your solution-disarm the military as well as all the citizens?
