BANGKOK — A soldier armed with an assault rifle went on a shooting rampage at a military base and a shopping mall on Saturday, killing at least 17 people, wounding 21 others and broadcasting himself on Facebook Live, according to the police and local news reports.

The authorities said the gunman was a soldier who shot a superior officer and injured several others at the military base. He then drove northeast about nine miles from the base to the Terminal 21 shopping mall in the city of Korat, where he killed some of his victims, according to news reports.

Local news outlets said he traveled to the mall in a stolen Humvee.

A soldier believed to be connected to the attack posted footage of himself on his Facebook page on Saturday wearing a helmet. “I’m tired now,” he says at one point, and “I can’t move my finger anymore.” The Facebook page was taken down soon after.
