Some 36 people, 23 of them children, were killed by an ex-cop wielding a knife and a gun during an hours-long rampage that only ended when he killed his girlfriend, her son, and himself. The massacre has plunged the tight-knit rural community in northeastern Thailand into shock and left dozens of families grappling with incomprehensible loss. REUTERS/Athit Perawongmetha
