Vachara Tathaptip, 19, was rushed to Vachira Phuket Hospital with a bullet wound to the left chest after he was shot while crossing the Kar Jan bridge near Suzuki Plaza at about 10am.
Luckily, the large gas bottle he was delivering was not hit.
His mother, Sunan Tathaptip, 56, who rushed to the hospital to be with him, looked shocked as she told The Phuket News, “My son has never had any disputes with anyone else.”
A friend, who asked not to be named, agreed. “I have no idea who could have done this,” he said.
Doctors are still treating him, but said that his life is not in danger. So far nothing is known about his attacker, but police are investigating.
