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 on Monday in the southern province of Krabi, which is popular with tourists.
Police said 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.
Three people were also seriously injured in the attack, which police believe stemmed from a personal dispute.
An official told the Khao Sot news website that the chief had "many disputes" in the area.
The gunmen reportedly gained entry to the house by posing as officials who wanted to check on illegal activity.
Krabi province draws crowds every year who visit its beaches and cliffs. But AFP news agency said the incident did not take place in the province's main tourist areas.
Many in Thailand own guns, and the country has a high gun-related homicide rate, but mass organised shootings are considered rare.


A man who police claimed confessed to wishing he had shot a shopkeeper in the face has been cleared of trying to kill him.

Peter Blackwood was accused of demanding money and cigarettes before trying to kill Naser Hussain at his Glasgow store in January 2016.
An attacker was seen on CCTV pointing a gun at Mr Hussain's chest and then shooting him the leg.
But Mr Blackwood denied any involvement and was cleared after a trial.
The High Court in Glasgow was told that despite Mr Hussain telling his attacker to take what he wanted, the gunman shot him in the leg and tried to help himself to cigarettes.
But the 24-year-old shopkeeper then chased him out of the KOF Convenience Store in Yoker with a bullet lodged in his leg.
Mr Hussain gave evidence at the trial and said he has since given up his shop and is now studying.
Jurors watched footage of a man dressed all in black with only his eyes on show going into the shop.
Mr Hussain was in another part of the store and made his way to the till area where the man pulled a gun out.
He told the jury the raider pointed the handgun "directly at him".
The police and an ambulance arrived after Mr Hussain chased his attacker away with a metal rod, the court was told.
Mr Blackwood later gave a "no comment" interview to police. The jury heard evidence that when he was charged with attempted murder, he confessed to police.
Footage of London Road police station was played to the jury, which officers claimed captured Mr Blackwood saying: "I wish I'd shot him in the face."
But jurors found the case against Mr Blackwood was not proven.


A world record breaking attempt for the longest 11-a-side match has finished following 105 hours of football in Edinburgh.

The match was in memory of the late Falkirk defender, Craig Gowans, 17, who died in 2005.
Guinness World Records are expected to approve the record set by the Craig Gowans Memorial Fund World Record Breaking Football Match within days.
The final score at Ainslie Park, at 22:00 on Wednesday, was 774-707.
The match started on Saturday at 13:00.
The previous record was 102 hours.
Craig Gowans was killed when training equipment he was carrying connected with an overhead power cable at the Little Kerse ground in Grangemouth.
The Craig Gowans Memorial Fund for The Sick Kids Friends Foundation has so far raised almost Â£80,000.
The match was played using seven substitutes on each side. There were no limits on how many times a substitute was used.
Every 12 hours a player clocked up on the pitch gave them one hour off from the match to have a shower or get food.
Eoghan Molloy, a member of the Craig Gowans Memorial Fund organising committee, said: "The whole experience has been an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish.
"There were a lot of mixed emotions as the final whistle blew - from relief and tiredness to joy, happiness and everything in between. It was amazing to hear that final whistle and to finish what we set to achieve.
"I'd like to extend a huge thank you to all of the supporters and volunteers who came down to support us across the four days.
"Playing throughout the night was by far the most difficult part of the challenge, but when the sun came up and the crowd returned this completely lifted our spirits. Being able to finish the match is all down to these supporters."
Roslyn Neely, chief executive of the Sick Kids Friends Foundation, said: "All of the participants of the Craig Gowans Memorial Fund have done a tremendous job in completely this outstanding challenge and we feel extremely privileged to be the beneficiary of their efforts. "
The money raised will be used to fund enhancements to the new Sick Kids hospital at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh at Little France, specifically a state-of-the-art Snoezelen room in Craig's name.
The space will be a calming room with multi-sensory equipment providing a relaxing and stimulating space for children with sensory impairments.
The previous world record was set at St Mary's, the home of Southampton FC, in June by two squads representing the Testlands Support Project, a Southampton charity.
Doug Henderson, chairman of Falkirk FC, said: "I'd like to congratulate the team for their great efforts over a monumental 105 hours, and to thank them also for getting together to deliver this wonderful tribute to Craig Gowans.
"Craig was an upstanding young man with a great future ahead of him, he had enormous promise as a footballer and was a big part of our Falkirk family. We all miss him so much."


Gillingham chairman Paul Scally has given manager Justin Edinburgh his backing but says he is "not best happy" with the side's current form.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The Gills, who are 17th in League One, were knocked out of the FA Cup by non-league Brackley Town on Wednesday.
"I woke up shocked, embarrassed, humiliated, disappointed and very angry," Scally told BBC Radio Kent.
"We both recognise there are some serious problems with the team. The manager has to address those issues."
Edinburgh led the Gills to ninth place last season but the club has only recorded five wins from 17 league games this season, and are three points above the relegation zone.
After a meeting with Scally on Monday afternoon, National League North side Brackley put extra pressure on the 46-year-old former Tottenham defender after winning their first-round replay 4-3 after extra time.
Scally said there were "no excuses" for the side's performance.
"Some of the individual performances wouldn't warrant a place in a Sunday pub side," he added.
"We have got a team with no confidence and not able to defend and that was abundantly clear. He [Edinburgh] does have my backing.
"We have got a long season ahead of us and have a team who have talented players, but they are not playing well at the moment."
Scally has confirmed he is in a three-month recovery period after revealing he had a seven-hour heart operation 18 days ago which left him unconscious for 28 hours.
However, he says Gillingham's current form is not aiding his recuperation.
"I'm not supposed to be at work," he said.
"I've been out of hospital 12 days and frankly this whole matter is probably the last thing I needed.
"Watching the [Brackley] game, I would have been better off going to bed before the kick-off and not having the stress and strain that resulted of watching us go out of the FA Cup.
"The last thing my heart consultant said was don't get stressed."


Mortuary staff's failures to carry out adequate identity checks led to the wrong body being cremated at the funeral of an MEP, a report found.

The mix-up led to the body of Philip Bradburn being cremated instead of that of Conservative MEP Philip Bradbourn.
A failure to provide written records created confusion between the two similar sounding surnames, the Heart of England NHS Trust said.
The trust and Central England Co-operative apologised for the blunder.
Former MEP Mr Bradbourn died at Good Hope Hospital, Sutton Coldfield on 20 December.
Mr Bradburn died at University Hospital Birmingham four days later and his body was sent to a funeral directors run by Central England Co-operative.
As Good Hope's mortuary was nearing capacity, a request was made by hospital staff to move four bodies - including Mr Bradbourn's - to the funeral company.
The names of those to be moved were given over the phone but not followed up with an email listing their names and addresses, the report found.
Updates on this story and more from Birmingham and the Black Country
The undertaker collected Mr Bradbourn's body, but four days later returned it to Good Hope, when his family requested to change his burial to a cremation.
Meanwhile, Mr Bradburn's body was sent back to the hospital over concerns it had been at the funeral directors for some time.
When it arrived at Good Hope from the funeral directors, paperwork carrying his surname was overwritten with the surname of the politician.
Doctors looked at these papers and signed off the cremation for Mr Bradbourn but the body of Mr Bradburn was released.
Central England Co-operative said: "Our priority has been to work closely with all concerned so that we can learn from this unfortunate incident and build further appropriate safeguards for the future."
Dr Andrew Catto, of Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust said there had been a "rare and complex set of circumstances".
He said: "We are very sorry that this incredibly distressing situation has happened."


Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored his 36th Ligue 1 goal in 30 games this season as champions Paris St-Germain extended their points record with a draw at Bordeaux.

Ibrahimovic - who is one off Carlos Bianchi's record of 37 league goals in a season for PSG - headed home Angel di Maria's cross.
Nicolas Pallois levelled for Bordeaux to leave the visitors on 93 points.
Ibrahimovic is PSG's all-time top scorer with 152 goals in four years.
The 34-year-old Sweden captain, who has scored 46 goals this season for PSG in all competitions - another club record - is expected to leave this summer at the end of his contract.
The capital club have two games left - Nantes at home in the league on Saturday and Marseille in the French Cup final a week later.


Celtic manager Ronny Deila insists his side will be more clinical against Motherwell on Saturday than they were in their goalless draw with Dundee.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The stalemate was only the second time in 23 games that the defending champions have failed to score.
"Everything is in our hands, so now we must get ready for Saturday as that is the most important thing," said Deila.
"Every time we play, there is pressure on us to win, but that's what we want to do and we'll be ready on Saturday."
Celtic's failure to win means Aberdeen can narrow the gap at the Premiership summit to two points by beating Hearts at Tynecastle on Friday.
"It was a frustrating night," Deila told BBC Scotland. "We had a clean sheet and that was positive, but offensively we should have created a little bit more.
"The last pass was not good enough and we had a couple of chances when, if we maybe played an extra pass, we would have been alone with the goalkeeper.
"But we had enough chances to win the game. Having said that, we have to work on creating more at Motherwell."
Erik Sviatchenko was taken off in the second half with a thigh injury that will be assessed with a scan on Wednesday, but the defender is a major doubt for the trip to Fir Park.
Midfielder Tom Rogic will be available, though, after missing the match at Dundee with a head injury.
Dundee manager Paul Hartley was delighted with a result that keeps them in the race for a top-six place.
Partick Thistle's win over Dundee United means Hartley's side need to win at Hamilton Academical on Saturday if they are to make sure of that.
"I thought the players were brilliant tonight," said Hartley. "The organisation, concentration levels and discipline were excellent.
"Celtic didn't cause us too many problems and we dealt well with everything they threw at us and we had a couple of chances at the other end.
"Craig Wighton had a good chance, Kane Hemmings had a good chance and Rory Loy hit the post, but it was a great point for us."
Top scorer Kane Hemmings was forced off at the interval with a dead leg and he faces a race to be fit to play at New Douglas Park.


A US judge has ruled that six Baltimore police officers accused of causing the death of a man in their custody will stand trial separately.

Baltimore Circuit Judge Barry  Williams said that trying the officers as a group would not be "in the interest of justice".
Freddie Gray, 25, died after sustaining a severe spinal cord injury while riding in a police van in April.
His death sparked nights of unrest and weeks of protests in the city.
Defence lawyers initially sought to have the charges dropped, but Judge Williams denied that request.
Judge Williams also rejected a motion to have the prosecutor removed from the case at a pre-trial hearing on Wednesday.
Defence lawyers argued misconduct by state prosecutor Marilyn Mosby, and wanted an independent prosecutor to handle the case.
They say Ms Mosby violated her obligation to a fair trial by announcing the charges at a public news conference as protests over Freddie Gray's death were already in motion.
Judge Williams called Mosby's public comments about the case "troubling" but said they were not likely to prejudice a jury.
Dates for the trials have not yet been set.
Gray's death, which was ruled a homicide, is one of several involving black Americans and police officers which has sparked unrest and national debate over police and race relations.
The officers pleaded not guilty to the charges, which range from false imprisonment to involuntary manslaughter.
Gray was arrested on 12 April after a police chase on foot in West Baltimore. He sustained a severe spinal injury while being transported in a police van.
Police later admitted he had not been secured by a seatbelt and his request for medical attention at the time was denied. He fell into a coma and died a week later.
His death sparked protests over police brutality, with the city of Baltimore erupting in rioting, looting and arson on the day of his funeral.
Questions over whether the trial should be moved from Baltimore will be raised at a second pre-trial hearing in September.


A South African court has jailed a woman for 10 years for kidnapping a baby from her hospital bed 19 years ago and raising her as her own.

The 51-year-old woman was arrested in 2015 after people noticed an uncanny resemblance between the girl, Zephany Nurse, and another girl at school.
DNA tests carried out by police then proved that the two girls were sisters.
Judge John Hlophe told the defendant she had "betrayed" Zephany by her actions.
The kidnapped girl's biological parents, Celeste and Morne Nurse, called her Zephany, but the name she grew up with has not been revealed to protect her identity.
The convicted woman has also not been named for similar reasons.
Local media have previously reported that Zephany does not wish to have a relationship with her biological parents and considers the woman who kidnapped her as her mother.
She has decided to continue living with her abductor's husband, whom she grew up believing to be her father.
Outside the court, Zephany's biological grandmother Marilyn said she was not happy with the length of the sentence, but hoped that the family would now have a chance to bond and form a relationship with Zephany.
The judge told the accused she had had "all the time in the world" to return the child but had chosen not to.
Annual local media coverage of the parents' birthday celebrations for their missing baby daughter meant that there was no way the defendant could not have known they were still looking for her, he said.
He also said her decision to plead not guilty and portray herself as a victim in the affair counted against her.
It is a story that has gripped South Africa, but now finally has some form of closure.
The 52-year old woman convicted of kidnapping Zephany Nurse watched stone-faced as the judge handed down his sentence.
Members of the Nurse family and the family of the accused packed the Cape Town courthouse.
Delivering his ruling, Judge Hlope criticised the woman for lying to the court during the trial.
He dismissed as "a fairytale" her claim that the baby girl had been handed to her by another woman at a railway station.
The soft-spoken seamstress raised Zephany as her own, just a few kilometres from the home of her biological parents.
The Nurse family's victory in court is bittersweet.
The woman responsible for Zephany's kidnap may be behind bars, but their daughter has decided to continue living with the husband of the woman who kidnapped her.


Tyrone have been hit by the inter-county retirements of former Footballer of the Year Stephen O'Neill and Martin Penrose, BBC Sport understands.

O'Neill, 33, won three All-Ireland titles in a stellar career which also saw him pick up three All Stars awards.
The Clann na nGael forward, who made a comeback after retiring in 2008, has struggled recently with injuries.
Penrose enjoyed All-Ireland triumphs with Tyrone in 2005 and 2008 to go with three Ulster titles.
The Carrickmore forward also won the Dr McKenna Cup four times under manager Mickey Harte.
O'Neill was a key player for Harte's team in a golden era for Tyrone and he won an All-Star in 2001, two years before winning the first of three All-Sam Maguire successes in five years.
The 2005 season brought not just team glory for O'Neill, for he went on become Footballer of the Year.
O'Neill announced his retirement in January 2008 but he returned for the All-Ireland final, although he refused to receive his medal as he said he "did not earn" it.
He won his final All Star award a year later before suffering a string of injuries, including dislocating an elbow in the 2010 McKenna Cup final.
Tyrone were knocked out of the All-Ireland qualifiers by Ulster rivals Armagh at Healy Park in July.


A Dutch cargo vessel that broke down off the west coast of Orkney on Saturday has been towed to the Moray Firth.

The 90m-long Schokland is carrying a cargo of wind turbine parts and lost power on Sunday near the island of Hoy.
The ship was towed through the Pentland Firth and down the east coast overnight by the Einar tug, owned by Orkney Islands Council.
A spokesman for the authority said the cargo ship had suffered engine failure.


Wing Semesa Rokoduguni is set to make his first England appearance since 2014 against Fiji at Twickenham on Saturday.

However, flanker Tom Wood has been left out of the 25-man training squad.
Fiji-born soldier Rokoduguni replaces Marland Yarde at right wing, while Nathan Hughes will come in for Wood if he recovers from a leg injury.
It is understood last season's Premiership player of the season Alex Goode will start in place of regular full-back Mike Brown.
Goode last appeared for England from the bench in their Six Nations win in Italy in February.
Hughes, also born in Fiji, could make his first start if he overcomes a minor niggle, with Teimana Harrison set to step in if the Wasps player fails to recover.
Head coach Eddie Jones is seeking an 11th straight victory since taking charge of the side.
England are now ranked second in the world and face Argentina and Australia on consecutive weekends after the visit of Fiji, who are ranked 10th.
Elsewhere, with lock Dave Attwood ruled out though injury, his Bath team-mate Charlie Ewels is set to make his England debut from the bench.
It is also thought Jonathan Joseph is being considered for a return to the starting XV at the expense of Elliot Daly, after the Bath centre trained in the number 13 position on Tuesday.
Number eight Billy Vunipola recovered from upper body soreness to take a full part in the training session.
Wood started for England for the first time since the Rugby World Cup in Saturday's 37-21 victory over South Africa, but has now returned to his club Northampton. He is not injured so his release comes as a surprise.
England will confirm their match squad on Thursday.
Forwards: Dan Cole (Leicester Tigers), Charlie Ewels (Bath Rugby), Jamie George (Saracens), Teimana Harrison (Northampton Saints), Dylan Hartley (Northampton Saints), Nathan Hughes (Wasps), Joe Launchbury (Wasps), Courtney Lawes (Northampton Saints), Joe Marler (Harlequins), Chris Robshaw (Harlequins), Kyle Sinckler (Harlequins), Billy Vunipola (Saracens), Mako Vunipola (Saracens)
Backs: Mike Brown (Harlequins), Danny Care (Harlequins), Elliot Daly (Wasps), Owen Farrell (Saracens), George Ford (Bath Rugby), Alex Goode (Saracens), Jonathan Joseph (Bath Rugby), Jonny May (Gloucester Rugby), Semesa Rokoduguni (Bath Rugby), Henry Slade (Exeter Chiefs), Ben Te'o (Worcester Warriors), Ben Youngs (Leicester Tigers)


School Reporters Berdan and Sudnaz, from Heron Hall Academy, Enfield, went behind the scenes at BBC Radio 4's The World at One and asked presenter Mark Mardell to reveal his most awkward moment.

Our first job was to go to the editorial planning meeting to find out how the BBC team decide what news stories to cover.
We created our own running order for the programme and had a debate about what topics should go on air.  We wanted to cover education in different countries, pollution and child abuse.
Then we compared our running order with the actual one for the Radio 4 show.
We only had two similarities - a story about the Queen's opinion on the EU and how much we pay for our energy bills.
While presenter Mr Mardell and the team prepared for the lunchtime show we went for some smartphone training.
It was really interesting and helpful because it taught us how to make professional videos and photos. Top tips included how to film a five-shot sequence, with each part lasting eight seconds.
With it getting closer to one o'clock, we went to listen to World at One being broadcast live in the studio. We watched from the editorial room where they were taking live calls.
It was really interesting, but we knew what was going to happen beforehand because we'd been in the planning meeting!
When Mr Mardell came off air we were able to interview him, and we joined him in the studio to ask him some questions.
We asked him what he most liked about presenting World at One and how he got his job as a journalist.
He told us his favourite part of the job is meeting lots of new people and persuading them to give their real opinions on air.  He explained that he became a journalist by following his talents and started doing journalism at university.
Then we asked him what his most awkward moment was. He said he hasn't had any but that he is always worried that he won't be handed the script by his producers on time and that he is scared he might say something wrong.
We loved the whole day at New Broadcasting House in London.
Berdan said he was inspired to be a  journalist, while Sudnaz would like to be an author.


Former Yorkshire opener Geoffrey Boycott is "disappointed" chairman Steve Denison has asked members not to back his return to the club's board.

Media playback is not supported on this device
"I'm not trying to cause any problems, I'm not trying to create any trouble, I want to help the club," he said.
Boycott is unhappy at the club's level of debt, reported to be above £20m.
The Test Mast Special summariser added: "If you carry on with the debt as it is, there won't be a club in existence as it's a recipe for bankruptcy."
Yorkshire announced a profit for 2015 - their first since 2009 - of £368,000 after tax, but Boycott is not convinced the county is on safe ground yet.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"The debt's gone from £5m in 2002 to £24m in 12 years, so the businessmen on the board haven't done a very good job have they?" the cricket pundit and former England opener told BBC Look North.
Denison has asked board members not to back Boycott's return on the grounds that he wants stability at the club.
He also says the board needs "individuals with skills that can guarantee the survival of the club".
But Boycott is eager to play his part.
"I love Yorkshire cricket, it's in my blood," he said. "I'm not going to turn away if the members don't vote for me, but I hope they will.
"If we don't have a better business plan, there won't be a club for members."
Boycott said Denison had written to him explaining that there were four vacancies on the board.
According to Boycott, Sir Gary Verity will fill one of the spots, with the re-election of vice-chairman Robin Smith and chief executive Mark Arthur accounting for another two.
That would leave one place, which Boycott, who acts informally as an overseas ambassador for the club, is eager to take.
Boycott is a popular figure at Yorkshire.
He received 91.09% of the vote when he was voted club president in 2012, a role he held for two years.
His return to the board would need to be approved by members at their annual general meeting on 26 March.


T44 world champion sprinter Richard Browne has pulled out of the Paralympic Games and ended his season.

The American, 24, is the world record holder for both the 100m and 200m and among the biggest names in the sport.
The single-leg amputee has told US Paralympics he is not "mentally and physically prepared to compete at the level I am capable of".
He finished second behind Britain's Jonnie Peacock in the T44 100m at the 2012 Paralympics in London.
Browne had been suffering with a hamstring injury and did not compete in last weekend's US trials - however he was still eligible to be considered for discretionary selection.
He suffered broken ribs and concussion in a car crash in January, but returned to training shortly afterwards.
Browne's rivalry with Peacock was expected to be one of the highlights of the Rio Paralympics.
However, he said in an email sent to US Paralympics that his 2016 season was over and he would now focus on 2017.


Maribor visit Aberdeen on Thursday evening looking to overcome a fourth Scottish team in six years.

The Slovenians have enjoyed their recent visits to this part of the world, knocking Hibernian, Rangers and Celtic out of Europe.
Can the Dons buck the trend in their third round Europa League qualifier, or will the Purples from Styria continue their good run of form?
Marcos Tavares scored the vital away goal at Levski Sofia to set up a trip to Pittodrie and the Maribor captain will be a familiar name since the 32-year-old Brazilian featured against Hibs, Rangers and Celtic.
Goalkeeper Jasmin Handanovic is another old hand, but defender Marko Suler and forward Damjan Bohar are the only other players in last week's line-up that were involved against Celtic in 2014.
That triumph against Celtic took Maribor into the Champions League group phase for the second time, while the win over Rangers in 2011 started a sequence of three successive group campaigns in the Europa League.
But Aberdeen fans should note that last season was not a great success for Slovenian's leading team since they were eliminated from Champions League qualifying by Astana, the Kazakh side with which Celtic are currently locking horns, and were beaten to their domestic title for the first time in five seasons.
Hibs were simply blown away in the first leg of this third-round qualifier in the Europa League, with Josip Ilicic, who would later move to Palermo and Fiorentina, scoring twice and Tavares banging in a third.
The visitors adopted a defensive strategy, leaving striker Derek Riordan and Anthony Stokes on the bench, but could do little to stem the slick Maribor attacks.
Maribor quickly snuffed out any hopes of an unlikely Hibs comeback at Easter Road, with that man Tavares knocking in a header after 20 minutes.
Edwin De Graaf scored a brace on his Hibs debut, either side of a Dejan Mezga penalty and another strike from Tavares.
The first leg began well for Rangers in Slovenia, with a Kirk Broadfoot cross diverted in for an own goal, but Agim Ibraimi, now at Astana, fired past Allan McGregor seven minutes after the break.
A fine second-half display from the hosts was rewarded with a clever back-heel finish from Atien Velikonja in stoppage-time.
Handanovic, now 38, played a blinder at Ibrox as Rangers squandered several good chances, with Dalibor Volas plundering an away goal.
Carlos Bocanegra levelled, but Handanovic made a series of late saves to see his side through.
Reinstated to Champions League qualifying after Legia Warsaw fielded an ineligible player, Celtic looked on course to make the most of their good fortune when Callum McGregor scored early in Slovenia.
The visitors were quickly pegged back by a well-taken Damjan Bohar equaliser, while Handanovic and opposite number Craig Gordon were kept busy in a game littered with goal-scoring chances.
The pick of those opportunities fell to Virgil van Dijk, with the Celtic defender's header blocked on the goal-line by the face of team-mate Stefan Johansen.
The return leg in Glasgow was a completely different story, with Celtic blunt in attack and Maribor dictating possession.
Zeljko Filipovic, who moved to Belgian club Mechelen this summer, was stand-out in the middle of the park and Tavares again proved the danger man, forcing a shot past Gordon after 75 minutes.
There were more heroics from Handanovic too, as the goalkeeper somehow kept out a stoppage-time shot from Van Dijk.


Armed police swooped on a coach on the M6 Toll motorway in the West Midlands.

A police source told BBC Radio WM a passenger was seen pouring a liquid into a box, which then started smoking.
The 48 passengers on the Megabus Preston to London service were led off the coach and forced to sit apart in a cordon on the opposite carriageway.
Police said a report of vapour escaping from a bag which led to the security alert was caused by "a health improvement aid for smokers".
The motorway was closed between junctions T3 and T4 near Lichfield before police said they were no longer treating the incident as suspicious, but it has now reopened.
Staffordshire Police said the coach stopped on the hard shoulder "of its own accord" at 08:20 BST.
About four hours after armed officers arrived, police confirmed the scene as safe. Shortly before 1500 BST the M6 Toll reopened.
The passengers have been allowed to continue their journey to London, although some have chosen to return north, to Manchester.
A police spokesperson said: "We received a report from a genuinely concerned member of the public about suspicious activity on a coach travelling on the M6 toll at Weeford, near Lichfield.
"Given the nature of the report we responded swiftly and proportionately, treating the information as credible and extremely seriously.
"The M6 Toll carriageways were closed in both directions, the coach was directed to the hard shoulder of the motorway and armed officers calmly evacuated passengers with their full support and co-operation.
"Following an initial assessment, we can confirm that no-one has been injured and that there is no danger to passengers at the scene or any other travellers who were on the motorway at that time.
"We are also not treating anyone as a suspect."
A Megabus spokeswoman said the coach had left Preston at 05:10 and was due in London at 10:55.
Earlier, armed police officers could be seen next to the single-decker coach on the southbound carriageway, as passengers were led off one by one.
Passengers were made to sit on the northbound carriageway, apart from one another, while surrounded by officers.
Sniffer dogs and forensic officers were also brought in to aid the search, as officers in forensic suits and others in military fatigues checked the area.
The Ministry of Defence confirmed military personnel were assisting police, at their request, under routine procedure.
One of the passengers on the bus told the BBC that she had no idea what was going on, that she didn't see anything supsicious, and wasn't told why they were pulled over.
She was made to sit cross-legged on the tarmac and still was not told what was happening. She said the whole experience had been very "scary and frightening".
The fire service, police from the West Midlands and Staffordshire forces and ambulance crews were all involved in the operation.
Nick Jones, a sales manager from Cambridge, said he was about four vehicles behind the coach when police stopped traffic.
"I've never seen so many ambulances turning up, also armed police, helicopter and dozens of police cars.
"We were told to stay in our cars, keep windows up and not put air conditioning on.
"Police were looking in hedgerows and verges on the northbound carriageway.
"It all just took off, ambulances left right and centre and armed police in black caps."
Another eye-witness Barry Jarvis told the BBC that cars were cleared from toll booths.
He said: "It was very puzzling as to what was going on at first as there weren't that many police there.
"It was only after 20 minutes or so when all these unmarked cars [were] coming through that we thought something major was happening.
"As we were diverted, we could see armed police at the toll booths, and the fire brigade."
Motorists on the M6 itself are experiencing delays of up to two-and-a-half hours.
In a statement, Staffordshire Police said: "We would like to apologise for any inconvenience and hope that the public understand that we have our duty to safeguard public safety."


A selection of the best photos from across Africa this week:


A Chinese energy company has bought seven wind farm projects in Northern Ireland and a further seven in the Republic of Ireland for a reported 350m euros (£300m).

The China General Nuclear Power Group (CGN) has taken control of the projects from Dublin-based Gaelectric.
The deal consists of 10 operating wind farms.
A further four will be operational by mid-2017.
Dr Wei Lu, chief executive of CGN Europe Energy, said this was the group's first acquisition in the energy sector in Ireland.


Four people have died after a storm battered southern Britain, leading to 625,000 homes losing power, and major rush-hour disruption to commuters.

A teenager in Kent and a man in Watford were killed by falling trees.
A man and a woman died in west London after a falling tree caused a suspected gas explosion and a house to collapse.
Many rail companies suspended morning services before running reduced services later. They say operations should be back to normal on Tuesday.
Flights and ferry crossing were also affected as the storm moved across Britain.
BBC forecasters say the storm, which began on Sunday night and saw heavy rain fall across many areas and wind speeds of more than 70mph (112 km/h), moved out of the UK shortly after 12:00 GMT - leaving a "broadly windy day" behind.
The strongest gust of 99mph during the storm was recorded at Needles Old Battery, Isle of Wight, at 05:00 GMT.
Wind speeds of 115mph were recorded during the so-called Great Storm of October 1987.

Bethany Freeman, 17, suffered fatal injuries when the tree came down on the caravan she was sleeping in in Hever, near Edenbridge, Kent, at about 07:20 GMT.
The caravan was next to the house she lived in with her family and she had been sleeping there while renovations were carried out.
Donal Drohan, 51, from Harrow, was pronounced dead at the scene after a tree crushed a red Peugeot 307 at Lower High Street in Watford, Hertfordshire, at 6:50 GMT.
Mark Joseph, who was passing by before the emergency services arrived, said: "We tried to assist, trying to get the tree off, but it was impossible."
The man and woman who died in west London were found after three houses collapsed and two others were damaged following a suspected gas explosion after a tree fell during high winds in Hounslow, the London Fire Brigade said. Three people injured in the incident were taken to hospital.
The Energy Networks Association, which represents power companies across the UK, confirmed 166,000 homes were still without power at 17:00 GMT.

A spokesman said 459,000 households that had lost power earlier had been reconnected, but more had been cut off as the storm moved north and eastwards.
BBC News correspondent Duncan Kennedy, reporting from Berkshire, said engineers had had trouble reaching some of the more remote areas in southern England because of fallen trees and it could be a few days before power supplies were restored to all locations.
Network Rail said the damage to infrastructure had been "worse than expected", with more than 100 trees on lines. Several hundred staff worked through Sunday night and into the morning to monitor conditions and react to damage.
Anthony Smith, chief executive of rail customer watchdog Passenger Focus, said it was "too early to tell if the industry made the right call when cancelling so many services, but the fact that major incidents have been avoided is good news".
Prime Minister David Cameron said the deaths caused by the storm were "hugely regrettable".
Asked whether train companies had over-reacted, he said: "These are difficult things to handle because you don't know for certain just how strong the storm will be."
In the morning, London commuters on the Tube and London Overground services also experienced delays.
The Environment Agency had dozens of flood warnings in place - in areas of south-west England, East Anglia and the Midlands where flooding was expected - but the number fell during the day.

Ulster Bank is to introduce plastic £5 and £10 notes in Northern Ireland.

The notes, which will replace designs that have been in circulation for 40 years, will be released in 2019.
The bank said they will include "advanced security features" and their designs will be unveiled in the coming months.
All four Northern Ireland banks print their own money, a tradition stretching back to the early 19th Century.
Ulster Bank's senior brand manager Lita Notte said it is "an important part of our business heritage and the economy of Northern Ireland".
The new banknotes feature designs on the theme "living in nature", influenced by a panel of historians, botanists, artists, architects and members of the public.
"The notes are in the final stages of their design phase," Ms Notte said.
"They are a unique demonstration of what matters to those who live and work here in Northern Ireland."
Earlier this year, Ulster Bank said that plastic notes will "probably be more cost-effective" than paper currency.
They are said by the Bank of England to be cleaner, safer and stronger than paper notes.
Last year, the Bank of England released its first polymer note but the first plastic £5 had been introduced 17 years previously in Northern Ireland by Northern Bank.
Ulster Bank said it will engage with retailers to help them adapt to the new polymer notes.
There is about £2.5bn worth of Northern Ireland banknotes in circulation and Ulster Bank has been producing notes for 181 years.
Existing Ulster Bank £5 and £10 notes will remain in circulation until 2019, when they will be removed.


Thirty more US technology firms have signed a brief opposing President Trump's immigration ban, bringing the total number involved to 127.

The new signatories include Tesla, Adobe, HP and Evernote.
They join 97 others who have filed a legal document stating the ban "inflicts significant harm" on their businesses and is unconstitutional.
The amicus brief allows parties not directly involved in a case but who feel affected by it, to give a view.
It was filed in Washington on Sunday and also includes Apple, Facebook and Microsoft as signatories.
Amazon is not part of the amicus brief but it is a witness in the original lawsuit brought by the Washington state Attorney General.
Mr Trump's executive order halted the entire US refugee programme for 120 days, indefinitely banned Syrian refugees and suspended permission to enter the US for all nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries.
There is currently a nationwide temporary restraining order in place, which was issued on Friday by a federal judge in Washington.
This means visa holders from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen will be allowed to enter the US until the full case has been heard.
However, the president has said he will fight the order as it puts national security at risk.
"Of course, the federal government can and should implement targeted, appropriate adjustments to the nation's immigration system to enhance the nation's security," reads the tech group's brief.
"But a broad, open-ended ban - together with an indication that the ban could be expanded to other countries without notice - does not fit the goal of making the country more secure. Instead, it will undermine American interests."


Two pedestrians killed following a car crash in the centre of an Essex town have been named by police.

Carli Scott, 30, of Basildon, was declared dead at the scene in Roundacre, Basildon, following the accident at 20:45 GMT on Tuesday.
Dean Evans, 35, also from Basildon, died later in hospital, police said.
A 26-year-old man from Laindon was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. Police are appealing for witnesses.
The man has been released on police bail, pending further enquiries, until 18 July.
The family of Mr Evans said: "He was a dearly loved son, father, brother, uncle and friend to everyone who knew him.
"Dean will be greatly missed. He was loved so much."


Luke Chambers scored with a late header as Ipswich earned victory at Sheffield Wednesday to ease the pressure on manager Mick McCarthy.

The visitors took the lead with only their third away goal of the season, courtesy of Tom Lawrence's solo effort.
But the Owls drew level when goalkeeper Bartosz Białkowski spilled a shot and striker Gary Hooper pounced.
Neither side threatened in a drab second half before Chambers nodded in the winner from a corner on 86 minutes.
Ipswich had failed to score in eight of their last 12 away league games and won only once in eight.
And manager McCarthy had come under fire from some of their supporters in their 2-2 draw with Rotherham last weekend.
But Town fans had something to cheer when Lawrence dispossessed Jack Hunt and fired a low shot into the bottom corner to give them the lead.
Their joy was short-lived, however, as Hooper was the first to react when Bialkowski failed to hold on to David Jones' shot.
Wednesday went into the game having won 11 of their 18 home league games in 2016, but created few other clear-cut chances and were punished late on by Town skipper Chambers.
Sheffield Wednesday manager Carlos Carvalhal: "I must accept that we didn't perform at our level and I hope that will be an exception.
"We were lacking energy and hit a wall. We must be more dynamic and have a different attitude.
"They were very compact and, to open up this kind of team, we need to move the ball very well and create spaces.
"We didn't pose a real threat to the opponents, but we didn't deserve to lose the game. We didn't deserve to win, either."
Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy: "I'm very, very pleased, of course, with the performance and happier with the result. I thought we were excellent.
"As the game went on, we caught them on the break a number of times and didn't really make enough of it until we got the winner.
"I had no worry about my ability or my confidence in the players and they've backed that up today with a really good performance.
"That performance and result today reflects my time at Ipswich. That is more like my team and how I have been."

A King penguin at Edinburgh Zoo has been made a Brigadier by the King of Norway's Guard.

Nils Olav was given the honour by members of the Norwegian guard who are performing at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo.
There have been three penguins called Nils Olav at the zoo, which have been mascots of the Norwegian King's Guard since 1972.
The second Nils Olav was knighted in 2008.
Brig David Allfrey, producer and chief executive of The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, said: "This is just a simply fantastic example of the great relations between our two countries, and it couldn't be a more charming tradition.
"At the Tattoo we of course have many inspecting officers but this is by far my favourite. Congratulations, Brigadier Olav."


US President Donald Trump says he is "very disappointed" with China for not doing enough to stop North Korea's weapons programme.

Writing on Twitter, he said he would not allow China to "do nothing" about the reclusive state.
His comments came a day after Pyongyang test-fired its second intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in a month.
It later claimed the test proved that the entire US was within striking range of its weaponry.
On Saturday, two US B-1 bombers conducted exercises over the Korean peninsula with South Korean and Japanese planes.
The move was a "direct response" to the North's two ICBM launches, and "part of the continuing demonstration of ironclad US commitment to our allies", the US Pacific Command said.
"North Korea remains the most urgent threat to regional stability," Gen Terrence J O'Shaughnessy, Pacific Air Forces commander, added in a statement.

End of Twitter post 2 by @realDonaldTrump
On Saturday, China condemned the test launch and urged restraint on all sides.
But Mr Trump voiced frustration at Beijing's response, linking the US trade deficit with China with policy on North Korea.
"I am very disappointed in China. Our foolish past leaders have allowed them to make hundreds of billions of dollars a year in trade, yet they do NOTHING for us with North Korea, just talk," he wrote in two consecutive tweets.
"We will no longer allow this to continue. China could easily solve this problem!"
China, which shares a land border with North Korea, is its closest economic ally and trading partner.
President Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping discussed North Korea during talks earlier this year, after which US officials said the two countries were working on "a range of options" to rein in Pyongyang.
But since then the North has carried out two ICBM tests.
After Saturday's launch, South Korea said it was concerned the North may have made "a significant advancement in technology", adding that the missile test was "unique in its time and place of launch".
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said the threat to his country's security was "grave and real".
The North has repeatedly tested missiles in breach of UN resolutions.
ICBMs can reach altitudes well outside the earth's atmosphere. Using sharp trajectories with high altitudes allows North Korea to avoid firing over neighbouring countries.
Despite the ongoing tests, experts believe the North does not yet have the capability to miniaturise a nuclear warhead, fit it on to a long-range missile, and ensure it is protected until delivery to the target.
Others, however, believe that at the rate it is going, Pyongyang may overcome these challenges and develop a nuclear weapon within five to 10 years that could strike the US.


Journalists should be employed by the National Assembly for Wales in response to cuts in coverage by conventional media, according to a report.

A taskforce chaired by ex-Welsh Government minister Prof Leighton Andrews has made the recommendation.
It examined ways of improving the assembly's digital news and information and increasing public awareness.
It suggests employing a small team of journalists along with "an experienced, impartial editor".
The team could deliver digital news content, including text and video, on social media and other platforms including email newsletters.
It would be "focused on producing content about the stories coming out of the assembly".
Prof Andrews, who was an assembly member from 2003 to 2016, said the Welsh media was "fragmented" and a team of journalists working for the assembly could "supplement" existing coverage.
"The assembly is producing a whole series of content daily but not necessarily in the most user-friendly style," he said.
"What we want the assembly to look at is whether it can use proper journalistic skills to get that material out to people, to share it.
"It's to supplement the existing media in Wales. We welcome the strengths that the media in Wales has but it also faces challenges.
"What we want to do is to supplement what exists in the media already here in Wales."
Despite the proposal that journalists should be employed by the assembly, Prof Andrews said the arrangement would not be a propaganda tool for the institution.
"We are not talking about the government here, we are talking about the national assembly which is the democratic forum for the whole of Wales. And those things are different.
"We're not suggesting a kind of Pravda-style operation as you might have in Soviet regimes in the past. This is very much about the democratic forum engaging directly with the people of Wales."
The report cites the decline in circulations of newspapers in Wales and a reduction in coverage which included the Daily Post's decision to stop having a reporter at the Senedd.
The taskforce's main recommendations include:
The work was commissioned by presiding officer Elin Jones, who has welcomed its findings.
She said the proposals were "thought-provoking" and would "strengthen the way we communicate as we seek to become an open, digital parliament which engages with all the people of Wales".
"I look forward to discussing the report, and how we take it forward, with assembly commissioners," she added.
But the recommendation to treat the assembly as a "content creator" has been criticised by digital consultant Huw Marshall, who is also preparing to launch his own independent online news service.
He said social media users would be wary of engaging with content from a political institution as they would perceive it as "propaganda".
"That's why you need those independent platforms and voices, those influencers, sharing that information," he said.
Plaid AM Bethan Jenkins, who chairs the assembly's culture committee, tweeted: "Yes, Senedd should do more social media, promote AMs + committee work more etc. Employ journalists? Initial view is no."


Alliance Trust chairwoman Karin Forseke is to step down from the board.

The role of interim chairman will fall to Gregor Stewart, who has been a non-executive director of the trust since December 2014.
Karin Forseke said she believed this is now "the right time to move on" and thanked shareholders for their support over her four years in the post.
The trust had been facing demands for a change in governance from US-based activist investor Elliott Advisers.
It announced in October that it intended to cut costs by Â£6m while restructuring its board to become fully independent.
The Dundee-based company said shareholders had wanted changes to be made to improve performance.
At that time it confirmed chief financial officer Alan Trotter was to leave Alliance Trust, while chief executive Katherine Garrett-Cox would step down from the board.
Following the announcement, Ms Forseke said: "We are making good progress implementing the changes announced in October to accelerate our long-term strategy and we expect the new governance structure to be in place in early 2016.
"Alongside the new non-executive only board of the Trust, excellent independent boards will be in place to oversee the development of Alliance Trust Investments and Alliance Trust Savings.
"As these changes are implemented, the Chair of the Trust's role will change and as a result I believe now is the right time for me to move on."
Senior independent director Alastair Kerr, who is to stand down from the board as it begins the process of appointing a new chairperson, said: "We have set out the strategy for Alliance Trust and I am confident that the new structure will allow it to flourish.
"I had planned to stand down in May 2016, but I feel that the new team should be responsible for identifying Karin's successor, and standing down at this time will ensure a smooth transition."
He added: "I would like to thank Karin for her hard work and dedication during her time as chair."


Roma fell just short of a comeback as Lyon knocked them out in the Europa League last 16.

The second-placed Serie A side trailed 5-2 on aggregate when Mouctar Diakhaby headed the French side into the lead on the night.

England all-rounder Ben Stokes hit his maiden Twenty20 century as Rising Pune Supergiant beat Gujarat Lions by five wickets at the Indian Premier League.

Stokes, who came out to bat with Pune 10-3, hit 103 from 63 balls with seven boundaries and six sixes.
Despite suffering with cramp, he and Mahendra Singh Dhoni put on 76 runs as Pune chased Gujarat's 161.
Australia's Dan Christian then hit a six from the penultimate ball of the innings to secure Pune's win.
Stokes' century is the fourth of this year's IPL and only the second by an English player after Kevin Pietersen scored 103 for Delhi Daredevils in 2012.


The Paris premiere of the new Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, has been cancelled following a shooting at a midnight screening in the US.

At least 12 people have been killed and dozens injured in the attack in Denver, Colorado on Thursday night.
Witnesses said a man wearing a gas mask opened fire as movie-goers watched the film.
In a statement film studio Warner Bros. said they were "deeply saddened to learn about this shocking incident".
"We extend our sincere sympathies to the families and loved ones of the victims at this tragic time," the statement said.
As well as the cancellation of the red carpet premiere on the Champs-Elysees,
          the Hollywood Reporter reported
 that media interviews with the director, Christoper Nolan, and the film's cast have also been cancelled.
The Paris premiere was due to take place on Friday.
Meanwhile, according to reports, Warner Bros. has also pulled a trailer for its upcoming film Gangster Squad, a 1940s-set thriller starring Sean Penn and Ryan Gosling.
Movie website
          Deadline
said the trailer, which was being shown during the previews of The Dark Knight Rises, featured a scene of gunmen going into a cinema and shooting patrons as they watch a film.


About £3,600 has been spent on Premier Inn hotel rooms by a council to provide accommodation for homeless people.

St Albans City and District Council revealed the £8.1m city centre hotel was used to help deal with a rise in the number of people needing temporary places to stay.
A council officer said the Premier Inn, which opened last year, was only used when cheaper hotels were not available.
The council said it amounted to 52 nights.
The amount spent by the Conservative-run local authority on temporary bed and breakfast accommodation is £120,000 so far this financial year, compared to £10,419 in 2012-13 and £34,000 in 2013-14.
The figure was revealed during a full council meeting.
Labour councillor Dreda Gordon said "putting people in hotels isn't the answer".
"When Premier Inn was going through planning, people weren't talking about it being used by the council for temporary accommodation," she said
"It isn't good enough. We should be providing more housing."
Liberal Democrat councillor Chris White said: "We have to find a way to eliminate that cost. We shouldn't have to use Premier Inn."
The council said it used a range of accommodation, including bed and breakfasts, usually costing £45-£90 a night.
Karen Dragovic, the council's head of housing, said the Premier Inn was at the "higher end of the [price] spectrum" and it was used "when other alternatives have been exhausted".
"The number of households in temporary housing rose from 97 in January 2014 to 120 in December," she said.
"We have a duty to house people who meet the homeless criteria.
"With limited housing stock available, there is a very long waiting list for homes."
A Premier Inn spokeswoman said she could not comment as "we have no record of homeless people staying here".


A man who hit his university lecturer wife in the head with a hammer as she slept has been detained indefinitely under the Mental Health Act.

Paul Bond, 62, attacked Dr Marian Bond at their home in Over, Cambridgeshire, on 11 July. Surgeons had to remove part of her skull to save her life.
Bond, who called 999 himself to say he had attacked his wife, was found guilty of attempted murder.
A judge at Cambridge Crown Court imposed a hospital order against Bond.
Cambridgeshire Police arrived at the couple's Willingham Road home to find Bond with his hands, cheek, chest and dressing gown covered in his wife's blood.
More news from Cambridgeshire
He had struck Dr Bond, a senior lecturer at Anglia Ruskin University, at least three times with a 2.5lb (1kg) lump hammer severely fracturing her skull and jaw, Cambridgeshire Police said.
Detectives described it as a "horrific assault which could easily have killed Dr Bond".
She was placed in an induced coma in hospital and part of her skull was removed. She has since made a partial recovery, police said.
In November, Bond admitted a charge of grievous bodily harm but denied attempting to murder his wife.
He was found guilty by a jury on Monday.
Imposing a hospital order on Bond without time limit, Judge Farrell QC said Bond had undoubtedly intended to kill his wife and had struck her with the hammer at least three times.
He was detained under Section 37 of the Mental Health Act 1983. A Section 41 restriction was also imposed meaning Bond will not be released until a mental health tribunal has decided it is safe to do so.


A man has been found guilty of stabbing to death a former Mr Scotland bodybuilding champion.

Steven Kirkwood was originally charged with murder but was convicted of the lesser charge of culpable homicide with provocation over the death of Michael O'Hanlon.
Kirkwood claimed he acted in self defence when he stabbed Mr O'Hanlon at Stevenston, North Ayrshire, last July.
The court heard there was a struggle and Mr O'Hanlon was stabbed four times.
The trial, at the High Court in Glasgow, heard that the men had exchanged abusive texts in the days running up to the incident.
Mr O'Hanlon, who was 6ft and weighed 17st 3lbs, had been crowned Mr Scotland by the National Amateur Body Builders' Association four months before his death.


The rising use of compulsory treatment for mental ill-health in Scotland is a "human rights concern", the Mental Welfare Commission has warned.

The commission said detention and treatment orders were issued 5,008 times last year - a record high.
Almost half of emergency detentions issued by a doctor did not have the support of a mental health officer.
The Scottish government said patient rights were a key part of its new Mental Health Strategy.
The Mental Welfare Commission for Scotland issues annual figures on the use of laws related to treating people for mental ill-health.
Its latest report shows that there were more episodes of compulsory treatment in 2015-16 than in any year since the Mental Health Act came into effect in 2005.
In a statement, the commission said: "This aspect of the data raises concerns in the commission about patients' human rights."
But the report also shows that there was a declining use of police stations as "places of safety" for people who are mentally unwell, which the commission said was "more positive".
The compulsory treatment laws were used 4,379 times in 2006-07, dropping to a low of 4,069 in 2009-10. Since then there has been a steady upward trend in the number of times they were used.
There are three forms of certification for compulsory treatment, with the most marked rise in the use of emergency detention certificates (EDC). These are used in crisis situations to detain someone who needs urgent care or treatment for mental ill-health.
Use of EDCs went up by almost 10% in 2015-16 on the previous year.
These certificates can be issued by any doctor and allow someone to be kept in hospital for up to 72 hours, but the Mental Health Act says a specialist social worker should also give consent where practical.
The commission said this only happened on 56% of occasions.
Dr Gary Morrison, an executive director at the Mental Welfare Commission said: "People who are very unwell, and need compulsory treatment for their mental ill health, are at their most vulnerable.
"A mental health officer can help explain the process, and can also look at alternative ways of supporting a person without needing compulsory treatment. If there is no mental health officer involved in this critical decision, some people may be detained unnecessarily.
"Others may find the experience of being told they will be detained much more traumatic than they would have done if a mental health officer had been there."
Dr Morrison also said there were "significant variations across the country".
"We expect those areas with low levels of mental health officer involvement to develop clear action plans for improvement," he added.
Minister for Mental Health Maureen Watt said the figures should be seen against a backdrop of rising demand for mental health services, and a greater awareness of mental health issues leading to more people asking for help.
She added: "It should also be remembered that, in certain circumstances, compulsory treatment is essential to provide protection to the patient and others.
"Where compulsory treatment is used, the rights of patients are safeguarded by legislation. Safeguards include a right to independent advocacy, and an efficient Mental Health Tribunal system which grants and reviews orders for compulsory treatment.
"The rise in compulsory treatments may be due to increased diligence from professionals in using the legislation appropriately.
"However, we will continue to work with the Mental Welfare Commission and stakeholders both to ensure these orders are used correctly, and to promote patients' rights more generally.
"Indeed, patient rights will be a key part of our new Mental Health Strategy, which will be published at the end of the year and backed with Â£150m of funding over five years."
Under the Scotland's Mental Health (Care and Treatment) Act, which came into effect in 2005, there are are three forms of certification for compulsory treatment.
They are the emergency detention certificate (EDC), the short term detention certificate (STDC) and the compulsory treatment order (CTO).
An EDC can be issued by any doctor, though the guidelines state the doctor "must consult a mental health officer and get his/her agreement, unless it is not possible for this consultation to take place".
The patient must be transferred to hospital within 72 hours of the certificate being issued and can be kept in hospital for a further 72 hours.
The guidelines state that the purpose of an EDC is to allow a patient to be assessed for whether they need medicial treatment for a mental disorder.
An STDC can only be granted by a doctor who has experience diagnosing and treating mental disorders.
The patient must be transferred to hospital within 72 hours of the certificate being issued and can be kept in hospital for a further 28 days.
The purpose of the certificate is to allow patients to be assessed and/or treated in hospital.
A CTO is applied for when doctors believe a patient needs longer term care for a mental disorder.

York boss Jackie McNamara was left to decide on his future after watching his side concede a late penalty in their draw at Braintree.

McNamara declared in midweek that he would resign if the Minstermen failed to get a "positive result" from the trip to Braintree, and was just moments away from York's first win in 30 away league games thanks to Simon Heslop's early strike.
But Lee Barnard tucked home an 88th-minute penalty to leave McNamara to ponder his future, with York winless in seven games and just above the drop zone.
The former Celtic player had made his win-or-bust call in the wake of a 6-1 defeat to lowly Guiseley on Tuesday night, and he was indebted to his goalkeeper Kyle Letheren, who saved a 12th-minute Simeon Akinola spot-kick and then made a string of saves before Braintree finally broke through.

Dai Greene has retained the top level of UK Athletics funding ahead of the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.

The 2011 world 400m hurdles champion, 29, missed the 2015 World Championships after a year wrecked by injury but is awarded the top level Podium funding.
Paralympic field athletes Aled Sion Davies, Kyron Duke and Hollie Arnold also receive the top financial support.
Seren Bundy-Davies, part of the women's 4x400m relay squad, and 110m hurdler David Omoregie get lower-tier funding.
Other Welsh athletes to be granted funding include Jordan Howe, Rhys Jones, Bradley Wiggley and Laura Sugar as part of the Paralympic Podium Potential programme.
T35-38 women's relay team sprinter Olivia Breen also gets funding.
Funded by the National Lottery through UK Sport, World Class Performance Programme selection is based upon the potential to win medals at an Olympic or Paralympic Games and is split into two levels: Podium (for athletes with the potential to win a medal at Rio 2016) and Podium Potential (for athletes developing towards Tokyo 2020).
British Athletics performance director Neil Black said: "2015 was an excellent year for the British Athletics teams at both the IAAF and IPC World Championships, in Beijing and Doha respectively.
"I am confident those we have invited onto the 2015-16 WCPP will build on the foundations and successes achieved over the last 12 months.
"Our immediate focus is firmly on medals next year in Rio 2016, followed by London 2017 when we will host both the IAAF and IPC World Athletics Championships.
"From there, the attention shifts to Tokyo 2020. Our WCPP selections absolutely reflect that focus and all the athletes selected will be expected to fulfil tough performance criteria.
"I look forward to working with these exceptionally talented athletes as we head into an Olympic and Paralympic year, which also includes the World Indoor Championships and the [European Athletics and IPC] European Championships."

England's players left their Chantilly base on Tuesday after the humiliating Euro 2016 exit to Iceland with the inquest under way into yet another dismal failure at a major tournament.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Manager Roy Hodgson resigned minutes after the 2-1 last-16 loss and was very reluctantly undergoing his final media duties in charge of England as the embarrassed squad prepared to depart France.
How many of those players will be key figures in the 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign after this sporting "Brexit"?
Joe Hart and Wayne Rooney are the two most senior members of England's squad who have question marks over them as they move towards the opening World Cup qualifier against Slovakia on 4 September.
Manchester City keeper Hart, 29, has been unchallenged as first choice in England's past three major tournaments, but he must now be under threat after a dreadful Euro 2016.
Hart looked over-hyped and made two very similar errors, conceding a goal against Wales and, crucially, doing so again for Iceland's winner that sent England out. Twice he was unable to keep out routine shots from Gareth Bale and Kolbeinn Sigthorsson low to his left, despite getting his hand on the ball.
He wins the remain vote because he still has pedigree - but his time at the top will now come under severe pressure from Southampton's Fraser Forster and Stoke City keeper Jack Butland, who missed the tournament through injury.
Manchester United captain Rooney, soon to be 31, leaves yet another showpiece with the bitter taste of disappointment. He may not be part of the side that plays in Russia in two years - but he should not be discarded in the attempt to get there.
England's record goalscorer and captain equalled David Beckham's record of 115 caps for an outfield player against Iceland and celebrated with a goal, but his lamentable performance afterwards came as a shock given his fine displays against Russia and Wales.
Rooney looked shell-shocked at the final whistle. He has stated his willingness to carry on but England's next manager must decided whether he is now a midfield man - the more likely option - or a striker.
The debate will continue about his worth, but Rooney still has something to offer England.
Chris Smalling and John Stones are England's centre-back partnership of the future, once the talented Everton youngster regains his best form, while the right-back spot is taken care of by Kyle Walker and Nathaniel Clyne. It is yet to be proved whether they are true international class, but they showed enough in France to stay in the plans.
Dele Alli had a poor Euro 2016, looking jaded from his exertions at Tottenham, but he will be a mainstay of England's midfield for years to come.
Everton midfielder Ross Barkley did not see a minute of action in France, confirming the suspicion that Hodgson never quite trusted his unpredictable talents. He may have better luck with the next manager and should stay in the squad.
Liverpool's Adam Lallana was unlucky to lose his place to Raheem Sterling against Iceland but showed enough to also remain.
Sterling, 21, is at a real crossroads in his career now after a very poor Euro 2016. It may be significant that he received a morale-boosting phone call from his new Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola during the tournament.
If Guardiola can re-ignite the £49m forward's electric pace and creativity, England could be the beneficiaries - so for that reason alone he remains.
Tottenham's Eric Dier had the same nightmare as his team-mates against Iceland. He was surprisingly replaced by Jack Wilshere after 45 minutes but he was another who demonstrated at Euro 2016 he can be a key part of the future.
Harry Kane had a miserable time of it, his awful set-pieces almost acting as a symbol for England's struggles, but the 22-year-old Tottenham striker is a class act. He scored 25 Premier League goals last season and has five in 16 England appearances. He will definitely stay in.
Daniel Sturridge is another who stays if he can keep fit but the one shining gem for the future is Manchester United's 18-year-old Marcus Rashford, whose electrifying four minutes against Iceland begged the question about why he was not used earlier.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, he will be an England regular and a potent force for years to come.
Remain: Joe Hart, Fraser Forster, John Stones, Chris Smalling, Kyle Walker, Nathaniel Clyne, Danny Rose, Dele Alli, Adam Lallana, Eric Dier, Ross Barkley, Raheem Sterling, Wayne Rooney, Harry Kane, Daniel Sturridge, Marcus Rashford.

Not too many will be on their way out but one will be Burnley's Tom Heaton. The 30-year-old is a fine keeper but he is now likely to see his England career restricted to the three minutes of action he saw against Australia at Sunderland's Stadium Of Light in May.
Butland will be fit again for the start of the World Cup qualifiers after fracturing his ankle in England's 3-2 win in Germany in March and will come back.
Chelsea's Gary Cahill may be a controversial member of this group, but again he has fallen short at a major tournament. The future of England's central defence must be Smalling and Stones, although the 30-year-old may still provide back up with the likes of Everton captain Phil Jagielka and Manchester United's Phil Jones.
Southampton's Ryan Bertrand is another who failed to make the most of his Euro 2016 opportunity and now faces a fight to keep his place. He started the tournament injured then gave a very nervy display against Slovakia, when his carelessness with his arms in tackles could have seen him receive a red card.
It is now surely the end of the England line for James Milner, the 30-year-old workhorse restricted to a brief appearance as a substitute when he won his 61st cap in the opening game against Russia. He has been a fine, reliable servant for England but it is time for the midfielder to move on.
Jack Wilshere must stay on the outside until he proves he can be welcomed back in. This may seem harsh but he did little else in France than take up a place in the squad.
This should not be considered a criticism of Wilshere. The midfielder was bound to be short of fitness after only playing 141 minutes for Arsenal last season and was another example of Hodgson's folly.
There is every chance the talented 24-year-old will come again - but he must now prove he can play at the highest level for a length of time with the Gunners before he is even considered for England again.
Leave: Tom Heaton, Ryan Bertrand, Gary Cahill, Jack Wilshere, James Milner.

There are a few candidates old and new scrapping for inclusion in the future.
At the head of the queue is talented keeper Butland, the 23-year-old who took his game to new levels at Stoke City until that injury in Berlin. If he starts next season he will exert real pressure on the struggling Hart, along with Forster.
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson gave a mixed display in England's 0-0 draw against Slovakia and still has to show he is true international class.
And what about Leicester City's Jamie Vardy? Has he got the game to pierce the sort of packed, well-drilled defences he will face with England? He scored against Wales but had no impact once Slovakia sat back in the third group game.
Vardy has every chance to be part of England's future, but to make sure he must start next season in the same sort of form that won him a Premier League title with the Foxes last season.
England have plenty of left-backs but none can lay serious claim to the position, although Danny Rose took the role in France.
Ben Chilwell may not have played a Premier League game for Leicester but the 19-year-old is wanted by Liverpool - and if he is good enough to impress Jurgen Klopp he is sure to be on England's radar once he gets game time.
And let's not forget Manchester United defender Luke Shaw, who was looking certain to make Hodgson's squad for France for before suffering a double leg break in a Champions League defeat at PSV Eindhoven in September.
Southampton's James Ward-Prowse has real promise and captained England Under-21s to triumph for the first time in 22 years at the prestigious Toulon tournament in France, where Chelsea's Ruben Loftus-Cheek also distinguished himself.
West Ham United have a real talent in the making in 17-year-old defender Reece Oxford, who has already attracted glances from other clubs, although they are determined to hold on to him. He has represented England through the youth levels and will be one to watch over the next couple of years.
Of the slightly older generation, Leicester's Danny Drinkwater was unlucky to be dropped from England's provisional 26-man squad for Euro 2016 and Manchester City's Fabian Delph will be hoping to revive his hopes along with Arsenal pair Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Theo Walcott.
Fighting for membership: Jack Butland, Jordan Henderson, Jamie Vardy, Luke Shaw, Ben Chilwell, James Ward-Prowse, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Reece Oxford, Danny Drinkwater, Fabian Delph, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Theo Walcott, Andros Townsend, Danny Welbeck.
Who do you think should be in the England team? Pick your XI - and then share it with your friends.


Residents of Walsall are being asked if they would accept a 2% or 4% increase in council tax amid warnings of further job losses.

Walsall Council has announced it needs to save £18.9m next year and wants views on three budget options, two of which include raising council tax.
Without the increase it plans to close Walsall Museum and reduce children's services spending by £500,000.
The cuts are part of an overall five-year budget reduction of £100m.
Two years ago the council announced 430 redundancies in a bid to save £23.5m.
Facing further budget reductions for 2014-2015, council leader Mike Bird said: "It is clear there will be less money, fewer people and so we'll be able to do less.
"We expect more job losses but it would be wrong to ask us to speculate on a figure."
The council's overall budget for next year is £620m.
Details of how that could be spent have been released based on no increase in council tax. But the council is also asking residents whether they would pay more tax "to protect more services".
A similar consultation by Dudley Council, which borders Walsall, concluded residents would not accept a large increase in council tax.
In Walsall, three options will be put forward for public opinion:
The third option would trigger a referendum, costing the council around £250,000.
The council's proposed budget with no council tax increase includes plans to close Walsall Museum, estimated to save £70,000.
It would also reduce the children's services budget by £500,000, with a further £450,000 cut possible after a review of youth support and careers information.
A further £480,000 could be saved by re-negotiating a respite care contract and £500,000 could be taken from the residential care budget.
Almost £300,000 could be cut from family support spending and £165,000 could be raised by increasing charges for bereavement services.
Grants to allotment associations could be cut by 50% to save about £20,000.
Councillor Christopher Towe, portfolio holder for finance, said "tough decisions lie ahead" but the council's priorities lie with helping businesses to create jobs, promoting good health, providing safe environments and supporting children.
The proposals will go before a council cabinet meeting on 23 October and residents are urged to comment before a final decision is made in February.


Hamilton Academical wore the France team's away kit for their home draw with Aberdeen on Sunday, in tribute to victims of the attacks in Paris.

Hamilton striker Christian Nade's sister was caught up in the violence, in which 130 people were killed in the French capital on 13 November.
The Scottish Premiership club said they wanted to show "sympathy and solidarity with the people of France".
Hamilton said the kit would be sent to French clubs to be sold for charity.
Accies player-manager Martin Canning told BBC Radio Scotland before kick-off: "Obviously that was upstairs that decided to do that and as players and staff we fully support it.
"But I said all week to the players our main focus is on the pitch and going and doing our job.
"We show our solidarity with what happened and we fully support it, but our main focus is to go and get three points."
Canning also has a Frenchman, former Hibernian and Coventry City midfielder Guillaume Beuzelin, as his assistant.
The club said discussions regarding the use of the French jerseys were sparked due to Aberdeen's first and second strips clashing with Hamilton's home kit, depriving its first-choice sponsor exposure in a "prestigious, home live TV fixture".
With Nade and Beuzelin in mind, it sought, and was granted, permission from the SPFL to utilise the French kit, complete with its home sponsors.
Accies could not source France's home kit in the requisite sizes, opting instead for the all-white away kit, and battling a "race against time to get them all badged, named, numbered, sponsored front and back and sleeve-badged" before the match.
The club intends to send the jerseys to each of the French Ligue 1 clubs for auctioning to charities.
On Friday, the English Premier League announced that the French national anthem - La Marseillaise - would be played before all of its matches this weekend.
Fans had united to sing La Marseillaise before England's win over France in an international friendly at Wembley on Tuesday.


A top Islamist in Somalia, Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys, has arrived in the capital Mogadishu amid reports of a split in the al-Shabab group.

He was flown from the northern town of Adado, escorted by government security forces, but it is unclear whether he has surrendered or defected.
The United Nations says he gave himself up to government allies after infighting but clan elders deny this.
Mr Aweys is considered a terrorist by the UN and the United States.
Regarded as the elder statesman of Somali Islamists, he has been on a US list of people "linked to terrorism" since shortly after the 9/11 attacks in 2001.
A new UN-backed government in Mogadishu is trying to regain control of the country from al-Shabab after more than 20 years of conflict.
Supported by some 18,000 African Union soldiers, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud's administration is the first in more than two decades to be recognised by the US and the International Monetary Fund.
Mr Aweys was flown by plane from Adado, a town about 500km (310 miles) north of the capital.
"If he renounces violence, then we can start the discussion about the options available," government spokesman Abdirahman Omar Osman told Reuters news agency, without describing the options.
Mr Aweys left al-Shabab territory after factions within the al-Qaeda linked group clashed last week - the first deadly infighting since it launched an insurgency in 2006.
Al-Shabab, which means "The Youth", is fighting to create an Islamic state in Somalia - and despite being pushed out of key cities in the past two years still remains in control of smaller towns and large swathes of the countryside.
It was as a radical offshoot of the now-defunct Union of Islamic Courts, which was led by Mr Aweys and for much of that year controlled Mogadishu and many southern and central areas.
The exact cause of the al-Shabab split is not known, but there has been a long-running internal power struggle between its leader Ahmed Abdi Godane and those seen as more moderate who oppose links with al-Qaeda, analysts say.
There are conflicting reports about the fate of the second-in-command - Ibrahim Afghan, the al-Shabab founder - following last week's fighting.
Initially, sources told the BBC he had been captured and was in al-Shabab detention; subsequent reports in local media say he has been executed.


Families who have been overpaid tax credits will have to repay the money at a much faster rate from now on, under government changes.

Tax credit claimants with a household income of more than Â£20,000 will see any historic overpayments clawed back at a much faster rate.
The UK tax authority said this would cut the time that people spent in debt.
But campaigners have argued that some claimants will face "serious financial hardship".
Entitlement to tax credits - a top-up for those on low incomes - is generally calculated by referring to a claimant's previous year's income.
Sometimes, pay rises or more hours of work mean that claimants may receive too much from the tax credits top-up. This money then needs to be repaid to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
The amounts of overpayment can sometimes be quite high, but families may have spent the money, so find it difficult to repay.
Repayments are often made by reducing subsequent tax credit awards, and it is this cut in payments that has been changed.
Previously, payments were reduced by a maximum of 25% in order to pay back outstanding overpayments.
Under changes newly in force, but announced in the March 2014 Budget, those who still owe money to HMRC will see their latest tax credit award cut by up to 50%, if they have a household income of more than Â£20,000.
It is understood that HMRC want to retrieve previous overpayments quicker, so the books are settled before benefit claimants move over to the new system of Universal Credit.
Campaigners are concerned that clawing back the money too quickly could leave some families in financial difficulty.
"We fully support the need for HMRC to recover overpayment debt, but this should not be at such a rate that it has the potential to plunge people into serious financial hardship," said Anthony Thomas, chairman of the Low Incomes Tax Reform Group.
"This change is likely to catch people out, as they may not be aware that their payments are about to reduce by an additional 25%. This is likely to hit those with high childcare costs or who receive extra payments due to disability even harder, as their awards will be higher."
The group is calling on HMRC to protect those with high childcare costs or who receive payouts owing to disabilities to be protected from the new, faster, repayment system.
A spokesman for HMRC said: "This change is simply about recovering overpayments faster and more efficiently. It will allow customers to return to full payments sooner and reduce the burden on families who previously would have repaid their debt at a slower rate.
"We wrote to all affected tax credits customers to tell them about the measure in March, so that they can manage any potential change to their finances. If anyone is worried about being unable to pay their debt, they should get in touch with HMRC as early as possible, so that we can help."
The government says some of those affected will benefit from higher pay, thanks to the National Living Wage, and more generous tax allowances.
