TOP NEWS Dozens killed in Thailand day care shooting Lauren DeCicca/Getty Images On Thursday, a former police officer killed at least 34 people, including more than 20 children, during a shooting and stabbing massacre at a child care center in northern Thailand, according to authorities. [New York Times / Sui-Lee Wee and Hannah Beech] The gunman reportedly opened fire on staff outside the center before entering the building and continuing the attack. He then fled home, where he killed his wife and child before turning the gun on himself. It's the deadliest mass murder by a single assailant in Thai history. [Bangkok Post] The suspected gunman, 34, was fired from the police force this year for drug charges. [Associated Press / Tassanee Vejpongsa and David Rising] Mass shootings are uncommon in Thailand; a mass shooting at a shopping mall in 2020 that killed 29 was, by some accounts, the first in modern Thai history.

[Daily Beast / Roger Sollenberger] The outlet, with the woman's permission, revealed further details about her identity after Walker, who has campaigned on banning abortion with no exceptions and has frequently criticized absentee fathers, said the abortion story was a lie. [CBS News] Walker faces Democratic incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock in a close race that could determine which party controls the Senate. [CNN / Gabby Orr] While national Republicans have defended Walker, conservative activists and Republicans in Georgia worry that his troubles could hurt his chances of flipping the seat. [Washington Post / Annie Linskey and Cleve R. Wootson Jr.] Wednesday's report is the latest scandal for Walker. He has also faced domestic violence allegations from several women, including his ex-wife.
