A couple of young British backpackers in Thailand were apparently shot to death Thursday by an off-duty Thai police officer. The shootings followed an argument in the restaurant the officer owns northwest of Bangkok. The Independent has a report. The Bangkok Post has a story that requires registration to access. For those of us who’ve had the pleasure of traveling in Thailand, such violence directed at tourists is hard to imagine.
