Thai soldier shot dead after killing 26 in gun rampage

A soldier angry over a financial dispute has been shot dead by police after gunning down 26 people and wounding 57 in Thailand’s worst mass shooting. Officials said the soldier first killed two people on a military base and then went on a far bloodier rampage, shooting as he drove to a shopping complex where people fled in terror. It took armed police 16 hours to end the attack in the north east of the country. Authorities said Sergeant Major Jakrapanth Thomma was behind the attack in Nakhon Ratchasima,
