Gunmen in Thailand kill eight in village chief's home

Thai police say eight people died after gunmen opened fire inside a village chief's home, in a rare mass shooting.

The incident took place in the southern province of Krabi, which is popular with tourists. 

Police say the gunmen, who wore military-style clothing, had demanded to search the house.
 
The attackers held those in the home, including the chief, captive for several hours before shooting them and fleeing in a car.
