29th December 2012. From Thai Visa with thanks to Dick Farang
Dick Farang noted that local press reports put the time of the shooting at 5pm and 4am.
However an eye witness added his experience to the Thai Visa forum and noted that the shooting occurred at around 3am:
OK as I was there I will put this story straight. We went inside the bar at around 3.00am (approx) We herd about 3 pops outside and I saw the security run inside, one had blood coming out of his neck. It turned out to be a flesh wound. within a min all the staff were armed and went out. We left about 5 mins later and outside there were at least 20 Thais arguing. At this point I did not see anyone fatally wounded outside like several stories have suggested. Apparently the fatality was shot in the head. Well I do not think he was shot in the head with the initial 3 shots anyway otherwise I would have seen him floored outside! We walked away and the police sirens where coming from the top and bottom of the soi. So all this secondary shooting must have erupted in the presence of the police as the guy lay on the beach road looked very similar to one of the Thais who was arguing outside. To me it seems a second bout of shooting must have started shortly after we got off. It was like the gun fight at the OK coral, EVERYONE was carrying.12th December Dolphin Beer...
