people were killed in a shooting at in Nonthaburi province, north-west of Bangkok, a Royal Thai Police spokesman said. The spokesman said the dead were three teachers and three pupils. Official injury figures differ. The police spokesman said people were injured, two of them critically, while health minister Pattana Promphat separately said 22 people were injured, nine of them critically, according to reporting by the Border Telegraph. Figures of this kind are commonly revised as a response continues. Officials have not released the identities of those killed or injured. Accounts of the condition of the person officials have described as the shooter also conflict: the Royal Thai Police spokesman said the shooter was in a serious condition in hospital, while deputy interior minister Polapee Suwunchwee said the shooter died in hospital. The Royal Thai Police are among the agencies responding. No cause or motive has been established, and police have not said what led to the shooting.

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.
