people were killed and injured in a shooting at , a high school in province north-west of Bangkok, and at a family home outside the capital, according to reporting by the Kilburn Times. Most of those injured were between 12 and 14 years old. The shooting at the school began at around 10am local time (4am BST) on Friday, according to the report. Earlier that morning, officials said, the 14-year-old schoolboy who opened fire appeared to have killed his two grandparents at the family home. Officials said the boy died of a injury. Thailand's health ministry said people remained in hospital, of them in a critical condition, the Kilburn Times reported. That count was given on and is the most recent figure in the reporting available for this story; no later update has been reported. All eight bodies were collected from Bangkok's Institute of Forensic Medicine early on afternoon, according to the report. Officials have not released the identities of those killed. 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.

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.
