people were killed in a shooting at in the Bang Kruai district of province, Thailand, on Aug 7, 2026, according to the Bangkok Post and Free Malaysia Today. Officials have identified the location at the level of the school itself. The identities of those killed have not been released. Both outlets reported that the suspect is ; officials have not said how the suspect died. Authorities have not said what happened beyond that, and no sequence of events has been established. Figures reported early in an incident are commonly revised. Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said a new firearms law would follow. "The new law will only allow government officials on duty to carry guns," the prime minister said, according to the Bangkok Post and Free Malaysia Today. No further official detail — including the time of the attack, the number of injured, or the circumstances of the suspect's death — is available in the reporting to hand. This story will be updated as officials release more.

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.
