Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Thai nursery attack: The story of the three-year-old survivor
A former policeman killed 34 people, including 23 children, during a knife and gun rampage at a daycare center in a northeast town of Thailand on October 7. The 34-year-old shooter was dismissed from his post in June over drug allegations. He had been in court earlier that day and had then gone to the daycare center to pick up his child but didn’t find his child there. Then he started shooting, stabbing, and killing 23 children and the 11 people there. The age range of the children at the daycare center was from two to five years. The shooter later shot dead his wife and child at home before turning his weapon on himself. The rampage occurred at a time when the children were taking a nap. In one of the three classrooms, three-year-old Emmy was napping soundly with other children of the same age. When she woke up, she found no one was moving and thought they were still asleep. She was covered her face by a police officer and carried away to the second floor. The police found no other survivors in the daycare center, most of whom were stabbed to death. The incident was one of the world’s worst child death tolls in a single massacre by a lone killer in recent history. It was purely a miracle that Emmy was unharmed although she lost all of her friends and teachers at her beloved daycare center.
