Flags were flown half-staff across Thailand on Friday following the country’s deadliest massacre that left at least 38 people dead, most of whom were young children.

The death toll includes the attacker, his wife, and his child—both of whom he killed after the shooting in the daycare center in Uthai Sawan, a town 500 kilometers (310 miles) northeast of Bangkok, on Oct. 6.
