At least 12 people have been killed and ‘many’ have been injured after a soldier went on a shooting rampage in a shopping centre in Thailand.

The gunman, who is still at large, opened fire at a shopping mall on Saturday in the city of Korat, north-east of Bangkok. The alleged shooter, who was captured wearing military uniform and a helmet, has been documenting the attack on a Facebook page that has now been taken down. After the massacre, he wrote: ‘Bad luck, cramp. Should I give up? I’m tired now I can’t move my finger anymore.’

Before launching the attack he wrote: ‘Rich from cheating, taking advantage of others. Do you think they can spend money in hell?… Can’t escape the death, everyone.’

‘The gunman used a machine gun and shot innocent victims resulting in many injured and dead,’ a police spokesperson said.
