12 pupils injured in Jilin school attack
A man forced his way into a primary school in northeast China Friday morning and stabbed and injured 12 grade-one pupils, the latest in a wave of recent school attacks in China, Xinhua said.
The man, whose identity was unknown, was seized and the injured pupils taken to hospital near the school in Panshi, a city in northeast province of Jilin. The injured, five male and seven female, are not in life-threatening
conditions, and receive treatment at a local hospital. Last month, a man broke into a Chinese school dormitory in the central province of Henan and stabbed eight children to death in their sleep. A bus driver stabbed 24 primary school children with a kitchen knife and kidnapped a nine-year-old girl at a primary school in eastern Shandong province in September. The same month, a man with a knife and homemade bombs attacked 28 children in a kindergarten in the city of Suzhou, near Shanghai. No one was killed. In August, a janitor stabbed 17 at a Beijing kindergarten, killing one child. Chinese police arrested a man accused of killing a 5-year-old boy and his teacher at a Beijing kindergarten in October. |
