<p>United States-based media outlet CNN has apologised for its reporting on the last week's attack on a nursery in north-east Thailand. An apology from the journalists came after one of its reports showed footage of the building's blood-stained floor. The attack left 37 people dead, including 23 children.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Both journalists apparently went inside the building and started filming. They were even charged with trespassing and unauthorised photography of a crime scene. Later, the allegations against them were dropped.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After an initial investigation, they both were fined for working&nbsp;while on tourist visas. They also issued a video apology, which appears to be shot inside a police station. The video has been extensively shared on social media forums.&nbsp;</p>

Thailand nursery massacre: CNN apologises for a 'serious breach of journalistic ethics'

<p>In a tragic incident, at least 37 people,&nbsp;including children, were killed by a man armed with a gun and knife at a children's day-care centre&nbsp;in northeast Thailand on Thursday, police said.&nbsp;The gunman later went home and killed his wife and child before killing himself.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Police colonel Jakkapat Vijitraithaya identified the gunman as Panya Khamrab. He was&nbsp;a police lieutenant colonel and&nbsp;was dismissed from the force last year for drug use.&nbsp;</p>

<p>An eyewitness told news agency&nbsp;AFP that&nbsp;after the attacker fled the scene, he was driving erratically and tried to ram his vehicle into other people on the road. "The attacker rammed a motorbike and two people were injured. I sped off to get away from him," she said, adding that the attacker was well-known in the area as a drug addict.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha ordered an urgent probe into the "horrifying" incident.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Concerning this horrifying incident... I would like to express my deepest sorrow and condolences to the families of the dead and injured," Prayut wrote on his official Facebook page. He added that he had told the national police chief to "fast-track an investigation".&nbsp;</p>
