An armed fugitive, 'Nopparat', surrendered in Pathum Thani following a two-day manhunt.
The suspect was wanted for opening fire on a rescue vehicle and later taking his father-in-law hostage to pressure his wife.
Over 20 schools in Pathum Thani and Nonthaburi closed as a precaution due to the armed suspect's unknown whereabouts, despite authorities confirming the case stemmed from a domestic conflict.
