people were killed and were injured in a shooting at and at a home in , according to reporting by the Bromsgrove Advertiser. The injured figure is attributed in that report to Thai health ministry hospital figures; the figure of killed was not attributed to a named official in the report. Both counts are given as of , and are the most recent figures reported. The shooting at the school happened at around 10am local time (4am BST) on Friday, according to the report. The school said all classes would be suspended between August 10 and 14, and that school staff were instructed to work from home during that time hat that the shooting occurred during a school day. Officials said the 14-year-old schoolboy who opened fire at the school also appeared to have killed his two grandparents at the family home earlier that morning. The report states he took his own life, and that the gunshot wound found on the alleged shooter was consistent with the weapon he had used. The report does not name him, and officials have not released the identities of those killed. No motive has been stated. All eight bodies were collected from Bangkok's Institute of Forensic Medicine early on afternoon, according to the report.

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.
