 He had taken out his 9 millimetre Uzi while they were waiting for the meal to arrive 

Boonsong Kowawisarat, 55, a senator from the northern province of Mae Hong Son, told police he shot his female secretary Chanakarn Detkard, 46, at a restaurant in Phrae, 550 kilometres north of Bangkok, the Bangkok Post reported.

Boonsong said he had taken out his 9 millimetre Uzi while they were waiting for the meal to arrive, and accidentally shot Chanakarn in the stomach.

The victim died from her wounds in a nearby hospital, Phrae Police Lieutenant Choosak Poonsawat said.

Police could not immediately arrest Boonsong because his status gives him immunity while parliament is in session.
