Parents
rushed to an elementary school in Thailand Monday, where 18 girls were
killed overnight in a fire at their school dormitory.
The school's manager, Rewat Wassana said the incident was very chaotic. "We are in the process of identifying bodies, none of the parents
can claim their children's bodies yet," he said.
Thirty-eight children -- all girls
between the ages of 5 and 12 -- were sleeping in the dorm when the fire
broke out at the private Pitakiatwittaya School Christian elementary
school in Thailand's northern Chiang Rai Province, according to lead
investigator, Police Captain Kachornsak Pongthit.
It's
not clear what caused the fire, which is believed to have started
around 11:00 p.m. local time Sunday (12 midnight Saturday ET).
