        Thai police arrested a 14-year-old suspected gunman on Tuesday after a deadly shooting at Bangkok's Siam Paragon mall.
        
        Two people were killed, both women from China and Myanmar.
        
        According to National Police Chief Torsak Sukvimol five people were injured.
        
        The death toll was revised down from an earlier figure of three provided by Thai emergency services.
        
        Torsak added that the teenager was in custody but was too confused to undergo questioning.
        
        "He is a mental patient at Rajavithi Hospital and he has not been taking his medication," Torsak said.
        
        "He said it was like there was another him telling him who to shoot."
        
        Chaos erupted in the late afternoon after gunfire was reported at the upmarket mall, one of Bangkok's top shopping destinations in the heart of the Thai capital.
