BANGKOK - Thai police believe a soldier who has killed at least 21 people is holed up in the basement of a shopping mall in northeastern Thailand and that he does not have hostages, a police officer said on Sunday. The officer said security forces were checking whether any civilians remained in the shopping mall. Nine have been evacuated.

“The perpetrator is still in the basement and it doesn’t look as though he has hostages. We are getting close to him,” the officer said. He did not give his name because he was not authorized to speak to media.Our Standards:
