Thai MP Boonsong Kowawisarat ‘accidentally kills secretary’

BBC

Police in Thailand say that they will charge a member of the Thai parliament with causing death by negligence for accidentally shooting his secretary dead with a submachine gun.

They say that the accident happened in a restaurant on Sunday night.

Senator Boonsong Kowawisarat took out a 9mm Uzi submachine gun while waiting for food, the Bangkok Post reported.

He told police the gun accidentally discharged and his secretary was shot in the stomach.

Police say that the shooting happened in Phrae province, northern Thailand.

Police say that because Mr Boonsong was in shock after the incident, the restaurant owner rushed the secretary to hospital where she succumbed to gunshot wounds.

    And the anti-second amendment rights people here will try to take away guns in Thailand and everyone will go to the beach and live happily ever after.

    She must have made a hell of a typo.

    I always take out my Uzi and put in on the table when waiting for food. “From our initial inquiry, the secretary’s family will not sue because they were relatives and it was an accident – he did not mean to do it,” Another excellent defense used by many politicos.

    Assuming the guy gets off is there anyway we can raise enough money to bring him to DC and have him invite Pelosi, “Shatzie Schultz and a few other “honored guests” out for a little pad Thai ?

    I’ll bet he wanted to break up with her and was told to do it in a public place where she couldn’t make a scene. Didn’t quite get the concept clear.
