An ex-policeman has killed at least 34 people, most of them children, in a gun and knife attack at a preschool daycare centre in north-east Thailand. Police say he then killed himself and his family after a manhunt following the attack in Nong Bua Lamphu province. Children and adults are among the casualties at the nursery – police say the attacker shot and stabbed his victims before fleeing the scene. A teacher who survived the attack told Thailand’s Thairath TV the gunman used to drop off his child at the nursery and had seemed polite. The nursery attack comes less than a month after an army officer shot dead two of his colleagues at a base in Bangkok.
