Just after 3am on Saturday Morning, Police Lieutenant Jirasak from Banglamung Police Station received an urgent call to attend the scene of a shooting which had just taken place on the Sukumvit Road in Naklua. No injuries were reported. At the scene, the officer was met by the victim of the shooting, Khun Awadar aged 31, a Thai News Presenter on Sophon Cable TV. She was in a distraught state and was surrounded by friends, many of which are local news reporters who also documented the case for their respective news organizations.

Khun Awadar directed Police to her car, a Blue Honda Jazz, where a gun shot through the front windscreen was evident. She explained that she had just returned, by Bus, from Bangkok just after 1am and returned to her car which was parked inside the Bus Terminal in North Pattaya.

She noticed that two of the tyres had been deflated. She called her friends who came to rectify the problem. She began to drive back to her home via the Sukumvit Road. A Thai Man on a motorbike drove in front of her, came to a stop, and produced a gun and shot once in the direction of her car. She initially took no notice of the man who had stopped at the side of the road and thought a stone had hit her windscreen but soon realized it was in fact a gun shot.

The shooter fled the scene when he realized she had called for assistance. Police think this was a planned attack and are looking into the personal and business life of Khun Awadar to determine a possible motive for the attack. They are also analyzing CCTV footage from various locations along the Sukumvit Road.
