A knife-wielding man injured 18 children and a teacher in an attack at a primary school in southern China on Wednesday, hours after a man was executed for a similar stabbing frenzy last month.The attacker, in his forties, burst into the Leicheng First Primary School in the city of Leizhou in the afternoon and went on a stabbing spree before being seized by police, state-run Xinhua news agency said.Anxious parents rushed to the scene as students were told to leave the school grounds, it said, adding the attacker was in his forties without giving any other information about him.All of the victims were taken to local hospitals, Xinhua said, and local government officials said none of them were in danger of dying."No one died and none of the injured people are in life-threatening condition," an official with the Leizhou city government, who refused to give his name, told AFP by phone.The Leizhou attack, in Guangdong province near Hong Kong, came just hours after authorities in neighbouring Fujian province executed a man who stabbed eight children to death last month.Former doctor Zheng Minsheng, 41, was put to death over the March 23 stabbings at a school in the Fujian city of Nanping, reportedly carried out in a fit of rage and depression after he was spurned by a lover.Although crime rates in China have risen steadily since the country began its economic transformation three decades
Maybe the Brady Bunch needs to call out for knife control legislation in China.And the formation of a National Knife Association cannot be far behind: Knives Tools Don't Kill People... Insane Whack-Jobs Kill People. Just a thought...Crusader
Laugh it up. They've done so in the UK. Banning knives, teargas, tazers and presumably sticks, rocks and cricket bats next. Why won't those criminals just obey the law? FQ13 who really wants M'lette to introduce the "head banging against a wall" emoticon.
