People in Thailand are still reeling from a deadly shooting at a luxury shopping mall in central Bangkok.
A day after the tragedy, there are growing worries about how the incident could have happened, and what it means for the country.
                
The shooting occurred on Tuesday at a shopping mall in Bangkok frequented by overseas visitors.
Police say two women from China and Myanmar were killed and five others suffered serious and minor injuries.
                
Authorities are working to unravel the motives of a 14-year-old boy detained as a suspect in the shooting.
He was apparently undergoing mental health treatment, and had not taken prescribed medication on the day of the shooting.
&quot;I was shocked, I didn&#039;t think this could happen so close by,&quot; said a female worker.
A male student said, &quot;I wonder where he got the gun.&quot;
                
The incident took place after the Thai government began allowing visa-free entry for Chinese visitors last week.
                
Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin visited the mall where the shooting occurred, and said the government would take action.
                
&quot;We will make sure that it doesn&#039;t happen again,&quot; Srettha said. &quot;We are doing what we can at the moment. I think we have the confidence of the tourists.&quot;
                
But shop owners are worried about how the incident will affect their businesses, as many depend on foreign customers.
                
&quot;I&#039;m concerned because sales have slumped following COVID, now this situation could cause business to worsen even more,&quot; said a souvenir shop owner.
                
Thailand is said to have the highest number of privately owned firearms among Southeast Asian countries. The weapons are sometimes sold illegally online.
                
In October last year, a former police officer killed 36 people, including many children, in a gun-and-knife attack at a daycare center.
                
The gun-related incidents have led to growing calls for stronger gun control. But concrete measures have yet to be implemented. People are watching to see what the new government does to ensure another incident doesn&#039;t happen again.
