ESCAPE Cops evacuate shoppers

SELFIE Thomma during slaughter

COFFEE shop staff hide from a soldier who shot dead at least 20 people in a machine gun rampage last night – while live-streaming his massacre on Facebook.

Sergeant Major First Class Jakapanth Thomma, 32, also took selfies, while footage of his victims lying dead was posted on other sites such as Twitter.

At least 31 were wounded – 10 critically – in the slaughter which began outside the Thai city of Nakhon Ratchasima before continuing at a shopping centre.

Late last night Thomma was reportedly holed up on the fourth floor at the mall after taking at least 16 hostages.

The Thai defence ministry’s Kongcheep Tantrawani­t said: “It appears he went mad.”

Thomma shot dead his commander Colonel Anantharot Krasae, 48, and a woman, 63, after a reported row over a land deal.

He then stole the machine gun, ammunition and a Humvee military vehicle from his barracks.

He drove into the city, spraying bystanders with bullets before entering the shopping centre.

He even asked Facebook users: “Should I surrender?” His page was then taken down.
