Dozens of nursery children ‘massacred as they slept’ by ex-cop sacked for drugs
The Metro says More than 30 people, most of them toddlers, have been killed in a gun and knife attack on a pre-school in northeast Thailand.
The attacker is thought to have killed himself, as well as his wife and child, after earlier reports suggested he was still at large following the attack targeting kids as young as two.
Officials say the gunman was an ex-officer previously sacked for taking drugs and believe at least 24 children are among the roughly 35 victims.
Two teachers and a police officer are also thought to have been killed in Nong Bua Lam Phu province, after the man stormed the nursery earlier.
