A former police officer stormed a nursery inThailand on Thursday, shooting dead at least 30 people, most of them children, before killing himself and his family.
"The death toll from the shooting incident... is at least 30 people," said Anucha Burapachaisri, a spokesman for the Thai prime minister's office. Eyewitness Paweena Purichan, 31, was riding her motorcycle to her shop when she encountered the fleeing Panya driving erratically."The attacker rammed a motorbike and two people were injured. I sped off to get away from him." Paweena said the attacker was well known in the area as a drug addict.
