A masked robber shot and killed three people, including a toddler, in a raid on a gold shop in central Thailand on Thursday night.
Four other people were wounded.
Surveillance camera video showed the man approach the shop, in a Robinson mall in Lopburi, about 145 kilometres (90 miles) north of Bangkok, wearing a full-face balaclava and camouflage trousers and carrying a pistol with a long silencer attached.
He opened fire, shooting dead a security guard and a female shop assistant.
He also shot and killed a two-year-old boy who was walking past with his mother.
He then leapt onto the counter, snatched trays of gold necklaces, and escaped.
Local media report that police have offered a 100,000 baht (about $3,300 USD) for information leading to the killer's arrest.
