Four children killed in Hunan school attack
A Chinese primary school teacher stabbed four children to death and wounded 12 pupils and four colleagues in an attack, the Beijing News said on Thursday. After attacking the children in the grade one class, the 28-year-old briefly held 64 older pupils hostage, the daily said. The bloodshed at the school in the central province of Hunan occurred last Thursday, a day before the week-long National Day holiday, and was over within 10 minutes, the paper said. "Many classmates were too frightened to cry," one child was quoted as saying. The suspect was arrested after negotiations with a county government official and all the hostages were freed, the newspaper said. It named the suspect but gave no reason for the attack. |
