Police identified the attacker as a former member of the force who was discharged over drug allegations and who was facing trial on a drugs charge. After the attack, he went home and shot dead his wife and child before turning his weapon on himself. When he did not find his child there, he began the killing spree, Paisal said. “He started shooting, slashing, killing children.”Late on Thursday, a Reuters photographer saw the body of the shooter, Panya Khamrapm, being moved in a bodybag from a van to a police station in the province.
“He was heading towards me and I begged him for mercy, I didn’t know what to do,” one distraught woman told ThaiPBS, fighting back tears. “He didn’t say anything, he shot at the door while the kids were sleeping,” another woman said, becoming distraught.
