NAKHON RATCHASIMA, Thailand: Mourners left flowers and written messages in front of the Terminal 21 shopping centre in northeastern Thailand on Monday (Feb 10), a day after the end of a disgruntled soldier's shooting rampage that killed at least 29 people.
On Monday, a woman held a bouquet aloft, hands folded in prayer outside the mall in Nakhon Ratchasima city as others signed cards and offered comfort to each other.

"It just happened right here in our hometown behind us, like right in our heart of everything. It's just tragic."
