Just seen Tams links confiming the incident with pictures posted at the same time so nothing further to add except condolences to all the familys involved.

My wife has sent me photos of some victims who were shot and killed. This is so tragic. Lying dead in their own blood. Jeez.

Just opened some pics from a friend in Nongbua without realizing. For your own sanity and any chance you will be able to sleep tonight, I urge you not to look at any unfiltered pics. It wont do anyone any good and you wont get the image out of your mind. RIP to all

Good advice stattointhailand.

This is terrible, no words only sadness.

If anyone has quick access to a location for the blood bank centre please post as I am crap at finding places by road names.

This is what I found in here but wonder if it is the best place to give blood.

Will we ever know the full truth. This was a drug effected ex cop who was taken to court earlier in the day. The info I am getting it was a single pill.

A lot of dealers are users, pushing drugs to support their own addiction. Nobody pushes drugs in Thailand without some protection. Was his case about a falling out of fiends?

Not condoning this heinous act, there is no excuse for what this evil man has done. Are there other dimensions to this tragedy?
Best being part of this forum by placing the intellectual challenged on foes list. A lot less post to read and a great time saver.

I can't get the images out of my mind. I will probably leave work soon as I am haunted by the photos.
