Six dead in mass shooting at popular Bangkok food market
The gunman fatally shot five people at the popular Or Tor Kor market in the Thai capital, a police official told Reuters, adding that the gunman had also killed himself.
Security camera footage from the incident showed people scrambling to save themselves as multiple gunshots rang out. Another clip was widely shared that appeared to show the shooter holding a handgun and running through a car park from the market's entrance gate.
The shooter, a man wearing a black T-shirt and carrying a backpack on his front, arrived at the market after 1pm local time and began shooting multiple rounds. He fled the market before shooting himself dead, Matichon reported.
The victims have been identified as four security guards working at the market and a woman. Two other women were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.

His crimes were uncovered after he was found asleep in someone else's house
A man's crimes were uncovered after police found him fast asleep at a house with thousands worth of drugs next to him. Callum Williams was found to be playing a "significant role" in dealing cocaine on the streets. Cardiff Crown Court heard that on May 29, 2025, police officers were called to a house on Parker Road in Ely, which had been left unsecured. Officers didn't expect to find anyone there as the tenant was in prison but when they arrived they found Williams asleep on the sofa. Sophie Keegan, prosecuting, told the court that Williams, 30, said to officers that he had been out the night before and had slept there as it was one of his friend's houses.

Williams told officers there was some cocaine there for his own personal use but said the rest of it was nothing to do with him. When the officers tested the white powder they found it was cocaine worth between £1,140 and £1,500. Upstairs in the house they found digital weighing scales and more cocaine, bringing the total amount to about 550g. The Nokia phone revealed messages relating to drugs sales and had the contact details of Williams' family members stored on it, suggesting it was his mobile. The court heard that Williams has 12 previous convictions for 19 offences and was last in court in 2017. He has only been in court for drug offences once before in 2011, relating to the possession of cannabis when he was a juvenile. Cora Sorensen, for the defendant, told the court that at the time her client had recently become estranged from his family and was homeless as a result. She explained he had also been in poor health and his face was injured at the time of his arrest. She added that since Williams has been in custody he has been trying to "avail himself of drugs" and for this reason his family were in court supporting him. Williams, of Heol Poyston, Caerau, Cardiff, pleaded guilty to the offence of possession and intent to supply cocaine. Don't miss a court report by signing up to our crime newsletter here. Recorder Claire Pickthall said: "It's clear that you had an awareness of the extent of the operation and it's clear that you were dealing to street users." She added: "I accept that you are a cocaine addict and were in the depths of a cocaine addiction at the time." Recorder Pickthall sentenced Williams to four years and six months in prison of which she said he will serve up to half in custody before being released.

26 dogs removed from Chicago Lawn home amid animal cruelty investigation
More than two dozen dogs were removed from a home on Friday in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood, after police responded to a report of animal cruelty. Police said officers were called to a home in the 3300 block of West 65th Place around 4:30 p.m. for a report of animal cruelty, and found multiple dogs in the back yard and garage. At least one of the dogs was injured. Chicago Animal Care and Control officials confirmed 26 dogs were removed from a home. Officials said the situation would place an additional strain on the city's animal shelter, which is already near capacity. In July, the city's animal shelter took in an average of more than 50 cats and dogs per day. "While animals involved in this case will not be immediately available, we have hundreds of other pets currently waiting for loving homes. Adoption fees are waived for the entire month of August, and we encourage the public to visit the shelter. For those unable to adopt, fostering is also a vital way to help, and we work with multiple rescue partners who offer foster programs," a Chicago Animal Care and Control spokesperson said. "We appreciate the public's continued support and compassion for the animals in our care." Area 1 detectives were conducting an investigation into the animal cruelty allegations.
