More or less. To this day the army denies firing live rounds on citizens but everyone there saw it with their own eyes and witnessed people getting shot by them in various places around the city. They even deny it after it was proven their bullets killed a Japanese reporter. Typical Thai denial, face saving nonsense. They also opened fire into a temple full of women and kids who were told the temple was a safety zone, killed a bunch of them, and to my knowledge no one has been held responsible yet and it has mostly been swept away. No one really knows who the snipers were working for but they were taking shots at anyone they could. I got pinned down a few times by them just trying to get from one area to another. It's very unnerving to have people shooting at you from rooftops. This was during the last incident where the "red shirts" took over parts of Bangkok.
