BREAKING NEWS FROM THAILAND: Thai ex-policeman kills 34 in Northern Province - Fabulous 103fm

Police reports indicate that at least 34 people, including 23 young children, have been killed by a crazed ex-policeman, at a child development centre in the North Eastern region of Nong Bua Lamphu this afternoon, Thursday, just after noon.

As details are slowly released, it's been confirmed that a 34 year old former police Lieutenants shot and stabbed all in his path before fleeing the scene with his own wife and own child or children. There is confusion as to whether he had 3 children or a single child of the age of three. Either way, all were killed before he finally turned his gun on himself, and was found dead BY police.

Witnesses claim he entered the centre armed with a gun and knife, said very little if anything but spewed bullets as he passed through the facility.

Armed police who attended the child care centre scene found bodies scattered across classrooms, play areas and hallways, in what can only be described as a wanton attack on all and everyone he came in contact with. Emergency services attended from various points around the region, aiding those injured but mainly covering the corpses of the dead, as parents of those dead youngsters raced the school and were not prevented from entering. At least another dozen are said to be in critical condition and currently under hospital supervision.

While no motive has been so far given for the attack, the ex-cop was due to face a court hearing on charges relating to the trafficking of drugs. Previously, he was ordered to leave the police force locally after failing drug testing and being investigated as a user and trafficker having confessed to possession of methamphetamines.

As a developing story, Fabulous 103 will update this bulletin as more details are released.
