Grieving families have gathered at a Buddhist temple to pray and make offerings to the spirits of their deceased toddlers who were killed amid a rampage by a former police officer who shot and slashed them with knives at their day care in northeastern Thailand last week. The mourning family members gathered at Rat Samakee temple on Sunday, sitting in front of the tiny coffins, praying while Buddhist monks around them chanted prayers. Later, they placed trays of food, toys and milk along the outside of the temple walls as offerings to the spirits of their slain children. Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha is expected to attend an evening prayer at one of the temples later Sunday.

Paweenuch Supholwong sits on her mother’s lap and fidgets with her pigtails as her mother tells the remarkable story of how the 3-year-old wisp of a girl survived Thailand’s worst mass killing. She was the only child to emerge unscathed from a day care after a former police officer massacred preschoolers as they napped. Two dozen children were among the 36 people who were shot and slashed to death in an attack that shattered the serenity of the rural township, robbing the small farming community of much of its youngest generation in the blink of an eye.

Hurricane Julia is bearing down on Nicaragua’s central Caribbean coast after lashing Colombia’s San Andres island in a close pass-by. Julia started Saturday as a tropical storm, but gained power most of the day and became a Category 1 hurricane shortly before it veered slightly south of San Andres island in the early evening. It is forecast to come ashore in the Bluefields-Laguna de Perlas region before dawn Sunday. The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Julia’s maximum sustained winds had stabilized around 75 mph late Saturday, just over the threshold for a Category 1 hurricane. Forecasters are warning that Julia's rains could cause flash floods and mudslides in parts of Nicaragua, Guatemala and El Salvador.
