19 May 2010: Tuk is now home, her office sending everyone home early. The staff of English language news sources The Bangkok Post and The Nation have also sent staff home. The city is shutting down for the day.

A few Red snipers had been targeting rescue workers a few days ago. Now all reporters are advised to take off their green reporter armbands, which once made them safe but now a possible target. A few firefighters have been shot this afternoon while trying to extinguish fires.
