The shooting occurred in Na Klang district in Nong Bua Lamphu province during the afternoon while children at the centre were sleeping.

Maj Gen Paisan Leusomboon, the deputy police commissioner, told Thai channel PPTV HD 36 that the perpetrator was a former police officer who had recently been fired from work and had drug-addiction problems. Police said the gunman shot himself, his wife and his child during the incident.
