The nursery school after the deadly attack
At least 37 people have been killed in an attack at a childcare centre in north-eastern Thailand.
More than 20 children are among the dead, with victims as young as two years old.
The nursery usually takes 92 children, but heavy rain and the fact a shared bus had broken down meant only 24 children were present, the childcare centre's head teacher says.
The attack began when a man armed with a gun and a knife stormed into the childcare facility in Nong Bua Lamphu province.
The attacker - who killed himself and his family as police searched for him - has been identified as former police officer Panya Khamrab.
He was dismissed from the police force earlier this year and was facing trial on drugs charges.
Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha has ordered an urgent probe into the attack and offered condolences to the families of the victims. (BBC, excluding headline)
