At least 31 people have been killed after a former police officer opened fire at a preschool for children in Thailand. The gunman is still at large after the attack in Nong Bua Lamphu, in the north-east of the country.

The police say that there are children and adults among the victims. Reports in Thailand say the officer was recently fired.

According to police, he was last seen driving a white Toyota truck in Bangkok. A senior police officer in Nong Bua Lamphu province said 23 children were among the victims.
