A former police officer fired a gun at a childcare facility in northeastern Thailand on the 6th, killing 35 people, including more than 20 young children at the facility.



The former police officer was dismissed for the reason of possession of drugs this year, and the police are recommending the clarification of the motive.

Around noon on the 6th, a former police officer broke into a childcare facility in Nong Bua Lamphu province in the northeastern part of Thailand, fired a gun, and attacked the children and staff of the facility one after another with a knife.



Furthermore, I let the car go out of control and hit people who were nearby one after another.



At the time, there were children between the ages of 2 and 5 in the childcare facility, and according to police, 35 people, including more than 20 children, died.



About 10 people were also injured.



According to the nursery staff, the children were taking a nap at the time, but the man kicked the door and broke it and entered the room.



The ex-policeman then returned to his home, killed his wife and son, and then committed suicide.

The former police officer, aged 34, was addicted to drugs after being dismissed from the police force this year for possession of drugs, according to Thai media.



In addition, his son also attended this childcare facility, so the police are investigating the situation at the scene and recommending elucidation of the motive.



The incident in which many young children were killed has caused a great shock in Thailand. That's what it means.

"My wife and daughter were attacked. I can't do anything."

A victim was brought to a hospital in Udon Thani City, about 80 kilometers away from a childcare facility in Nong Bua Lamphu Province in the northeastern part of Thailand, where the incident occurred, and the family visited.



Of these, Purwan Chaikerin, who was involved in the incident and said that his daughter died, his wife was in critical condition, and his grandson, a 2-year-old boy, was injured in the head, said, "Both my wife and daughter were attacked. It's too painful to think, and I can't do anything," he said in a dazed manner.



Former Prime Minister Surayut visited the hospital and was seen visiting the injured and receiving treatment and their families.
