Breaking| An ex-policeman has killed at least 38 people, most of them children, in a gun and knife attack at a pre-school daycare centre in north-east Thailand.
Police say he then killed himself and his family after a manhunt following the attack in Nong Bua Lamphu province.
Children and adults are among the casualties at the nursery – police say the attacker shot and stabbed his victims before fleeing the scene.
The former officer, aged 34, was sacked in June for drug use, police said.
A teacher who survived the attack told Thailand’s Thairath TV the gunman used to drop off his child at the nursery and had seemed polite. A motive for the attack remains unclear.
