Bangkok, Thailand : 34 people were killed on Thursday in a shooting at a daycare centre in northeastern Thailand, including at least 22 children.

The suspected shooter, later identified by Thailand's Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) as a 34-year-old former policeman involved in an ongoing court case for allegedly selling drugs, was sought after by authorities right away.

Investigators later determined that he had murdered his wife and stepson before committing suicide. The number of fatalities at this time may or may not include the shooter and his family.

The suspect had appeared in court in Nong Bua Lamphu province hours before “opening fire while the kids were sleeping,” according to Maj. Gen. Jirapob Puridet of the CIB.

His two-year-old stepson was enrolled at the center he attacked Thursday, but was not present while the attack was carried out, according to a local police chief.
