12 killed in shooting spree in California bar

13 Sept 13:19 Key points summarised by AI

A gunman opened fire in the crowded Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousand Oaks, California, killing 12 people, including a sheriff's deputy.
The shooter, identified as Ian David Long, a 28-year-old Marine Corps veteran, was found dead at the scene from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The bar, popular with college students, was hosting a 'College Country Night' when the random shooting occurred, with no known motive.
Sheriff's Sergeant Ron Helus, a 29-year veteran, was among the victims, dying heroically after being one of the first responders to enter the bar.
Authorities had previously responded to a disturbance at Long's home in April, finding him agitated, but no further action was taken at that time.

Uthenthawai students and alumni declare truce with Pathumwan rivals

Yesterday 20:34 Key points summarised by AI

Uthenthawai students and alumni have pledged to cease violent clashes with Pathumwan Institute rivals, coinciding with their campus's reopening after a 90-day closure.
The Minister of Higher Education is mediating the long-running conflict, while the campus closure has significantly disrupted in-person classes and laboratory work for over 1,000 students.
Uthenthawai resists relocation from its current site, citing a historical land grant from King Rama VI, despite Chulalongkorn University's plans to reclaim the land for an educational hub.
Concerns are mounting over the legality of the campus closure, its detrimental impact on uninvolved students, and the potential commercial development of the land, which critics argue contradicts the late King Rama VI's intentions.
