Flowers laid at Thai mall for victims of shooting

Residents of a city in northeastern Thailand were on Monday mourning the victims of the nation's worst mass shooting.

Authorities said the attack was carried out by a single gunman - a disgruntled soldier who opened fire on strangers before he was fatally shot Sunday at a shopping mall in  Nakhon Ratchasima city.

At least 29 people were killed and another 58 were wounded.

A makeshift shrine was growing outside Terminal 21 Korat shopping mall, as local residents paid tribute to the victims.

Officials said the gunman was angry over a financial dispute with his commanding officer.

The attacker was identified as Sgt. Maj. Jakrapanth Thomma, who holed himself up in the Terminal 21 Korat, an airport-themed mall filled with colorful Lego sculptures, a merry-go-round and huge replicas of landmarks from around the world.

After most mall employees and shoppers were evacuated, a joint police and military team hunted down the gunman and killed him.
