At least seven people have died in Thailand after a teenage boy shot his grandparents and then went on a shooting spree at a local secondary school.

Police have said five teachers were killed before the 14-year-old gunman turned the weapon on himself.

Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said the attack was "well prepared".

A 31-year-old teacher who asked not to be named described hearing gunshots and screaming pupils as the attack unfolded: "One of the teachers killed...was my friend."

Students who escaped the shooting have spoken of their shock, with one girl describing seeing a teacher shot in front of her and climbing over a fence to escape.

The Debsirin School at the centre of the shooting has announced it will be closed next week, 10-14 August.

Debsirin is a well-known secondary school that has branches across Thailand. The original campus was founded by the country's royal family in 1885.

Many public figures in Thailand have attended the school - including diplomats, athletes, prime ministers, and several royals themselves - and it is widely associated with educational prestige.

Its branch in Nonthaburi, where the shooting happened, is located in the north-western outskirts of Bangkok.
