JAKARTA - At least 31 people died in a mass shooting at a child care center in Thailand's northeastern province on Thursday, a police spokesman said.
The victims included children and adults, police said in a statement, adding that the gunman was a former police officer and the hunt was ongoing.
As for CNN, the shooting took place at the Center for Child Protection in Uthaisawan Na Klang district, Nong Bua Lamphu Province, according to a statement from the Office of the Prime Minister of Thailand.
"The prime minister has expressed his condolences," the statement said.
The Prime Minister has warned all agencies to take action and arrest the perpetrators, a government spokesman said.
It is known that the level of arms possession in Thailand is high compared to several other countries in the region, but the official figure does not include large numbers of illegal weapons, many of which have been brought across the border.
Mass shootings are rare in Thailand. But in 2020, an angry soldier for a failed property deal, killed at least 29 people and injured 57 people in a rampage that spans four locations.
