Four men dressed in similar uniforms to the Thai security forces sprayed bullets at a group of villagers gathered outside the grocery shop, said National Security Council Chief Paradorn Pattanatabut.
Leaflets which read "This is revenge for the innocents" were found at the scene together with many bullet casings.
Police immediately sealed off roads in a 500-meter radius to search for the assailants.
