Tamura was targeting NFL headquarters: Investigators believe that he was trying to target the headquarters of the National Football League, but took the wrong elevator, Mayor Adams said. A note found on his body suggested he had a grievance against the NFL over an unsubstantiated claim that he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy. https://apnews.com/live/manhattan-office-shooting-nyc-updates -

Fire Songkhla Authorities Battle Widespread Peat Fire Near Hospital
Picture courtesy of Kaoded. A large-scale firefighting operation is underway in Songkhla province after a peatland blaze broke out behind Songkhla Hospital, spreading across a radius of more than 500 metres and sending smoke into surrounding communities, including the hospital’s inpatient wards. The operation is being jointly carried out by the Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organisation (PAO) and the Department of Royal Rainmaking and Agricultural Aviation. Helicopters have been deployed to douse the smouldering terrain with water drops from nearby sources. Authorities say the fire, which erupted in the early hours of 28 July, has severely impacted air quality, causing distress to both hospital patients and local residents. Songkhla PAO President Supit Pitaktham, accompanied by the rainmaking operations team, surveyed the site by helicopter to assess the severity and plan containment strategies. “We acted immediately upon being alerted by the hospital director,” said Mr Supit. “Given the close proximity to Songkhla Hospital, our top priority has been to ensure the safety of patients and medical personnel.” The affected peatland is located near Khlong Wong in Naamnoy subdistrict, Hat Yai district. The inaccessible terrain has made conventional firefighting efforts challenging, prompting officials to rely on aerial water drops. The operation is expected to take two days to bring the situation fully under control. Supit, a former official with the Royal Rainmaking Department, emphasised the urgency of calling in specialised support. “This is not an area where fire engines can reach, so we had to act fast and request assistance from the rainmaking unit, who have experience and the right tools for this kind of mission.” Local authorities are urging residents to immediately report any sightings of wildfires to the Songkhla PAO, so that early intervention can prevent further escalation. “We want the people of Songkhla to know that we are committed to protecting their wellbeing,” Supit stated. “This is a serious environmental hazard, and we are doing everything in our power to minimise its impact.” Smoke was still being reported in the vicinity, but officials are hopeful the blaze will be fully contained soon.

Crime Drug Dealer Arrested in Joint Crackdown by Sriracha and Bang Lamung Authorities
Picture courtesy of Daily News. Authorities from the districts of Sriracha and Bang Lamung joined forces in an anti-narcotics operation, arresting a drug distributor and seizing a quantity of methamphetamine and ketamine. The operation was led by Mr. Patcharapach Sritanyanon, District Chief of Bang Lamung, and Mr. Weekit Manarotkit, District Chief of Sriracha. It was part of the Ministry of Interior’s “No Drugs ~ No Dealers” policy, mandated by Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai. The crackdown began with the arrest of a drug user in Bang Lamung. Following an investigation, officials arranged a sting operation involving the purchase of 30 methamphetamine pills for 1,100 baht, to be delivered near the New Bridge at Laem Chabang Port in Moo 8, Bang Lamung subdistrict. At the scheduled time, a 34-year-old man identified as Mr. A arrived on a motorcycle with a 35-year-old female companion, Ms. B, to deliver the drugs. Officers moved in and arrested the pair, seizing three bags of methamphetamine, 10 pills per bag, on the spot. During questioning, Mr. A revealed he had sourced the drugs from a man named Mr. C 29, residing in Sriracha district. Officials from both districts coordinated a second sting operation, arranging to buy 200 methamphetamine pills. The handover was set outside a convenience store near Wat Bo Hin in Moo 9, Surasak subdistrict. Mr. C arrived at the designated location with the drugs and was immediately apprehended. A subsequent search of his residence at house number 322/383, Moo 8, Surasak, uncovered additional narcotics. Officers found 66.76 grams of crystal ketamine in zip-lock bags, numerous empty plastic zip bags and a digital scale, indicating drug distribution activity. Authorities confirmed that efforts to dismantle drug networks in the region will continue aggressively to ensure public safety and order. All suspects are in custody and face multiple charges under narcotics laws. Adapted by Asean Now from Daily News 2025-07-30
