Two lecturers at a Thai university here were shot dead by their colleague today after they failed to resolve their differences through talks.
The incident happened inside the Buddhist Philosophy building at Rajabhat University in Bangkok, media reported.
Police called to the scene said two men, both 50 and lecturers, were shot dead inside the university.
A police investigation found that three lecturers, each with a PhD degree, had met inside the room to try and settle a problem.
When they were unable to reach any agreement, the third man pulled out a pistol and fired shots at the other two, wounding them fatally, before fleeing, according to Thairath Online.
The report did not say what the argument was about.
