Bangkok, Oct 06,2022:Thirty-four people were killed in Thailand on Thursday in a mass shooting and knife attack at a day-care centre by a former policeman who killed his wife and child before shooting himself dead, reported Reuters citing officials.
The victims included 22 children as well as adults, police said in a statement. However, the motive behind his act is unclear, the report says. The ex-cop was discharged from the service for drug-related reasons, district official Jidapa Boonsom told the news agency.
About 30 children were at the centre when the gunman came in around lunchtime, he added.
