At least 34 people were killed, including 22 children, when an ex-cop opened fire in a rampage at a daycare centre in eastern Thailand on Thursday.
The gunman later shot dead his wife and child at their home, before then committing suicide, police reports noted.
Police identified the shooter as a former member of the police force, who was dismissed due to drug allegations.
A spokesman for the police told broadcaster ThaiPBS that the gunman had been at a court hearing earlier on Thursday, and had gone to the daycare centre to find his child.
“He was already stressed and when he couldn’t find his child he was more stressed and started shooting,” the spokesman said.
