At least 28 people have been killed after a former police officer opened fire at a pre-school child daycare centre in Thailand, police say.
The attack happened in the north-eastern district of Nong Bua Lamphu on Thursday afternoon.
Police say at least 23 children are among the victims. The gunman had stormed the centre armed with a gun and a knife.
The gunman went on the run in a white pick-up truck.
Recent reports have it that the gunman has been found dead. He had shot himself, Thai media is reporting.
Thai police had earlier on their Facebook page identified the shooter as a 34-year-old Panya Kamrab.
They also say that he has killed his wife and children.
The gunman Panya Kamrab was sacked from the force last year, Thai PBS reported.
They quoted a local police colonel Jakkapat Vijitraithaya who said Kamrab had been dismissed for drug use.
