More than 30 people have been killed in a mass shooting at a children’s day-care centre in a northeastern province of Thailand, a police spokesperson said.
Victims included both children and adults, police said in a statement on Thursday, adding that the gunman was an ex-police officer and a manhunt was underway.
The prime minister has alerted all agencies to take action and apprehend the culprit, a government spokesperson said.
Mass shootings are rare in Thailand but in 2020, a soldier angry over a property deal killed at least 29 people and wounded 57 in a rampage that spanned four locations.

Most recent update from local Thai news: 37ppl including the shooter himself has deceased. The shooter himself was a former police who recently got fired due to drug abuse. It is “suspected” that he did all of these mass shootings while being depressed and high on drugs. Aside from shooting, he also used his escape car to crash into 9 casualties along the way killing them instantly. He went back home. killed his wife, kid, and committed suicide. Pray for Thailand 🇹🇭
😭😭😭😭😭
Sorry for the shooting innocent
I am so sorry that this happened in beautiful Thailand.
Dear people of Thailand! Please accept sincere, deep condolences from Russia. Recently, our country faced the same grief – a crazy scoundrel killed 17 children. We understand your pain like no one else!
We are with you! Hugs!
We, Thais, appreciate your heartfelt condolences during such sad times.
Thank you from Thailand for the beautiful blessing.
Is accused is not Muslim then they called shooting
I don’t understand why police officers are always held above the law when it comes to their own illegal actions. Being fired from the police force for drug offences is such a slap on the wrist. Had they given him jail time, maybe this wouldn’t have happened. I can only assume that he wasn’t the only one in possession, just the one that got sloppy. Stabbing children in the head and gunning them down in their sleep…drug abuse and mental health will have to be taken more seriously but I don’t imagine these atrocities will ever end. Care for your children at home, home-school them as much as you can.
ในเหตุการณ์นี้ทำให้เด็กฝาแฝดเสียชีวิตไปด้วย 1 คู่
รู้สึกเสียใจมาก
My deepest condolence to all victims and the families
Strange that some people are saying they are shocked that young kids were killed but they are totally ok when unborn children are killed.
What is the fair?
Terrorist
Police = policy= policing the police are here to protect not us but our government and enforce their the dirty fraudulent policies on citizens wake up people. We are controlled
World is full of Mad People
With Deadly Weapons…
I survived
People are disgusting. How awful. Prayers to all families involved.
There are a lot of technologies. The shooter chose the children. Children die and save the people. 6 million were killed by the virus .Children slept 5 million adults gave blood . Technology plan.30 children and 30 families. 30 women before the emergency meeting 1 man. Before the emergency and after are different things. 34 years old believes death will make a profit. Does not believe and killed 30 old people.
Presenter is so cute🥰
“Safe zone” gives people a false sense of security. Arm the teachers to protect our kids.
Imagine all the peoples. World will be better
A mass shooting in Thailand and it’s not even election day
Shooting AND stabbing.
The model minority strikes again.
Sum Ting Wong?
LOL Wtf did Asians do to you? You didn’t want to pay full price for your nails, and you got mad when they said No?
Police can’t be everywhere, evil people know this
He himself was a police officer who was fired shortly prior.
@MrSlanderer Then he is not a police officer. If you are fired you don’t retain your title. This was just an evil drug addict, that’s his title. A surgeon isn’t called a surgeon if they are fired
😂😂🤣
Peaceful people spreading peace everywhere 😂😂🤣
Why, just why? 😭💔 this is so heartbreaking 😭
😭😭😭
Y IS DONT U FIGURE IT AS TERRORIST?
I’m Thai. Our heart are broken by this crazy rampage. It’s shock the country. The murderer is too cruel. He shot children, teachers , many people along the way and his wife and his child. Only 1 little girl survived by the rampage in the children day care. She slept and cover by a blanket. The murderer thought she died.
😭😭😭
wtf is wrong with the world nowadays ? its too sad and it happens only in places where one cannot defend themselves … RIP
24 who were shot to death are children ! They are pre-school kids age range from 2-4 years old , they were taking a nap 😭
the gun man came in during nap time and open fire, among the casualty is an eight month pregnant teacher and at least 24 are children.
Sell more guns ….isn’t that the answer…
Y mass shooting y not terrorists attack ????
Another humanity L.
2020 Thai soldier killed 29 and now police officer killed more than 30? They should protect the citizens not kill them! Condolences to the victims’ families 😔
Thank you everyone for the beautiful blessings. We, Thai people, are still in shock and still couldn’t believe that this had really happened to the innocent children and teachers. It’s truly a difficult time for those who lost and the people in the country to have learned the tragic news 😞
🙏
Thai News confirms there are totally 36 death and 12 in a hospital. The murderer was a police officer. He got fired for drug addiction and he should show up in to the court for his hearing tomorrow. 70 something kids should be at the Head Start. There was raining in the morning, so only nearly 30 kids showed up. I couldn’t imagine if all kids were there.
So sorry for the parents and victims. So sad, what did those children do?
One of the teachers who died, she was pregnant, was due to give birth next month. it’s too cruel.
we want a islamic sharia laws control thailand only
So sad
Find the shooter and destroy him.
2 Timothy 3:1 but mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days . Lord Jesus Christ is coming soon 🙏🏼❤️🕊Repent , believe in the Gospel, Be Born Again
My deepest condolences to the people of Thailand who lost the loved ones. Am am from Ethiopia, every single second thousand has been killed and fleeing from their homes…. 😥😥😥
The influence of western culture.
No
🇵🇭Philippines beware! This will happen in your country! Pilipino Pulis are Criminals in Uniform!!!🤬
Unfortunately, I’ve heard of many evil things in this world. However, stabbing two dozen sleeping preschoolers to death is just about the most horrific act of murder and pure evil that I’ve ever heard of. This is beyond horrific! My condolences go out to all of Thailand.
Was it a foreigner ?
Lots of evil in the world right now let’s not forget the millions of children being put in danger via Bidens actions and his hand and his controllers hands by provoking Russia lots of perilous stuff going on, it’s hard to console a parent sibling grandma who lost a child violently like this but these little children will definitely be going to heaven to be in the care of angels and other good people who passed on.
There’s a lot of people in danger because of Bidens admin actions very dangerous lots of people under threat lots of children lots parents entire cities.
Did Nancy pelosi bring America’s mass shooter virus to Thailand
One demented dementious mindless person in a powerful position is a disaster of epic proportions the ones manipulating him are the greatest threat to all mankind with no exaggeration it’s of the highest stupidity to allow him and his giggles partner to continue
I want to let you all know.
while everyone was shocked and saddened but Prime Minister of thailand (my country) still make a fried basil with a chill mood. what?
Deputy Prime Minister
he said : what should i do he on drug. Really you are deputy prime minister but you don’t no what to do??
Deputy Commander of Police : laughing while making a statement. why did he laughig why?
What happened in this country im so mad at them
My wife is Thai and lots of family there . Thank God they are all safe
Rest in Peace
This was a “disturbance,” and an “incident?” I thought it was a mass shooting.
😓😓
This is the world ruled by Satan.
“May God’s plan of love and light work itself out – And may it seal he door leading to the place where evil dwells.”
More security
Wow mass shooting not terrorist attack
Even hypocrisy has a limit
It was a mainly stabbing spree. Why are you continuing to use the shooting narrative?
“And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.
Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone NOT FOUND written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.” (REVELATION 20:12-15 NKJV)
Today, while you are still alive and able, may you repent from your sins, believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that JESUS CHRIST is your Lord and Savior, so that through Him, your name will be written in the Book of Life.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever BELIEVES in Him
should not perish but have everlasting life.
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” (JOHN 3:16-17 NKJV)
By God’s GRACE, the gift of Salvation and Eternal Life is available to all. You can RECEIVE it. You can REJECT it. May you choose wisely… ✝️
I’m confused why america is in thailand?
RIP🙏😢✌
A grim reminder that policemen are abominable people who don’t care for other peoples lives
Why are tragedies like this repeated, Mr. Biden?
All this happened because of our government for the 8 years they have been in. They have never been serious about cracking down on drugs and punishing illegal officials. In our country 8 years ago the price of methamphetamine ranged from 300-500 baht, today it is only 30 baht (less than 1 dollar). It’s really sad. Because most of the bad things are caused by methamphetamine.
Police again
Many Thai household have firearms in their house. 😟😟😟
The Devil has been busy.
Nong Bua Lampoo is located in the north eastern part of Thailand.
Why it’s always policeman or soldier?
I am Thai and have witnessed an incident at my home near a nursery where a child was shot. And then I heard the sound of gunfire. Then I heard screams from all directions, and the people in them ran away in all directions. One of them was shot by 37 child shooters, including a babysitter. died immediately after the accident A gunman breaks into a nursery, a gunman breaks into the room where the child is sleeping. All the children were sleeping and the nanny heard the nanny gunning. Lock the door of the children’s room where the child is sleeping. when he saw the gunman opened fire He fled through the window and climbed the wall. But the gunman broke into the room where the children were sleeping, and the gunman broke the door and shot the children while they were asleep, shooting each child’s head with a gun. The sniper looked at the still dead child. The sniper looked several times and slashed the boy with a knife. But one child survived the shooting. by pretending to be dead The gunman who shot was a former police officer who served his country but was fired because of his drug history. Later, madness ensued. Later, the gunman fled to his own home. The police then surrounded the area. have both special forces Including at least 50-60 soldiers ready to fire back. and the radio ordered the culprit to surrender but soon after Everyone heard three gunshots and police burst into the house. suicide shooter But before shooting yourself The gunman kills the gunman’s wife and children. And then finally shot myself. Really bad. I wanted to torture him. I want to kill the gunman The shooter wanted to escape the crime and eventually shot the shooter’s wife and child. The incident was the deadliest mass shooting in Thailand in 2019, with 31 people killed in a shopping mall shooting.
Update: compensation for the deceased from the shooting Total amount of 1300000 million baht. Persons who died compensation 200000 baht each, seriously injured 100000 baht each, non-fatal injuries 50000 baht each.

Those children were sleeping because that time it was 12:00 something. The teacher who pregnant 8 months already also got killed.
Only one girl in this class survived she was deep sleep and she covered the blanket over her body. He didn’t see her and she even didn’t know what going on because she slept.
Anyway that day it was raining so some school bus drivers they not picked up many children to school. Actually about 70 something all of them in the school.
So sad they are innocent and adorable 🥹just 2-4 years old. I was crying when I see their old videos and pictures when they were alive.
Why do you label it as a shooting when it was predominantly a knife slaying ? Fake News.
Seeing a lot of psychopathy in folk who drank the tea.
He had three cups.
Never seen this in Thailand before, but untold times in the US where kids have to be jibbed 72 times before the age of 16.
This demon again,WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON!!!
Are the soldiers and police dangerous? shooting in Thailand It’s the work of the military and the police to do the crime.

Manhunt? Suspect commit suicide afterwards. Wrong info
Fake news, fake title.

From all the shooting around the world.
Wake up government officials!!!
Send troops of armies/soldiers on every schools. Protect our children.
best thing i’ve heard all day.
very sad 😭 news
Law enforcement is unhinged all over the world ! We need to re evaluate who is ” qualified” to be apart of security services. We need to evaluate, are men the safe bet? And why not just dismantle law enforcement as a whole? We can form security services that provides for the public.
Law enforcement as it is now, is self serving.
