people were killed and injured in a shooting at in , on the outskirts of Bangkok, according to AsiaOne. The school has more than 3,000 students and nearly 150 teachers, and students were in class on an ordinary school-day morning when the shooting began. Police said the alleged gunman arrived at the school just before 10am (0300 GMT), having taken a bus 18 km, and began shooting. Reuters, as reported by AsiaOne, said that over the next 40 minutes or so the alleged gunman, a 14-year-old student, killed three teachers and two school officials before turning the gun on himself. Police said that at dawn the same day he had shot dead his grandparents at their home. Police, including a specialised unit, responded. The AsiaOne account is the most recent reporting available on the attack, and it is now roughly two days old. It identifies the day of the week but no calendar date, so the exact date of the shooting cannot be stated here. Officials have not released the identities of those killed or injured. The circumstances remain under investigation and no cause or motive has been determined. Casualty figures in the hours after an attack are commonly revised; the figures above are those reported by AsiaOne, and no revision to them has been reported since. Nothing further has been reported into this account since that report. This story reflects what AsiaOne and the police statements it carried said at that time.

How we work

This site models an investigative reporter rather than a wire desk. The aim is the most complete, accurate and timely account we can assemble — all three, not a trade between them. Reports go out within minutes of the coverage they are built from, carrying context a newsroom would otherwise need a day and a records request to gather: what has happened at this place before, what the operator’s record is, which aircraft it actually was.

Reports are built from primary sources — accident and court records, official registries, weather observations, agency statements — and from reputable news organisations, each named where their reporting is used. Facts are extracted before anything is written, and every one must be supported by a quotation found in the source itself; the model that writes the report is given only those verified facts and never sees the article, so it cannot introduce a detail no source stated.

Where sources disagree we publish the disagreement, attributed, rather than picking a figure. Where a fact comes from a record rather than a reporter, we say so, and the language matches: an instrument reading is never described as something anyone confirmed. Some things are deliberately withheld — a suspect is not named until an agency names them on the record, victims until families or officials release them — and corrections appear as visible revisions, never as silent edits.

None of that makes a report true. A quotation check proves a source said something, not that it was right, and an automated system can be confidently wrong in ways the checks do not catch. If something here is wrong, the feedback above is how it gets found. The full methodology, including what we refuse to publish.
