Over 30 Killed in Thailand After Ex-Cop Begins Murderous Rampage at Childcare Center
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Thailand, at least 35 people were killed earlier today when a former
police officer went on a murderous rampage. Police say the 34-year-old
suspect shot and stabbed children at a child care center in northeastern
Thailand, killing 19 boys, three girls and two adults. Thai authorities
say the assailant then fled the scene, opening fire randomly from his
car; he then returned home, killed his wife and child, and turned the
gun on himself. It's Thailand's bloodiest mass shooting since 2020, when
a soldier with an assault rifle killed 29 people and wounded nearly 60
others.
