Eight Killed in Stabbing Attack Near School in Eastern China
A stabbing incident outside a school in Wuxi, located in eastern China, has resulted in at least eight deaths and 17 injuries, local authorities confirmed.
The attack took place on Saturday evening at the Wuxi Yixing Arts and Crafts Vocational and Technical College, around 6:30 p.m. local time (10:30 GMT).
Police reported that the assailant, a 21-year-old man who had graduated from the school earlier this year, was apprehended at the scene.
According to authorities, the suspect carried out the attack due to frustration over his failure to obtain a diploma because of poor exam results and dissatisfaction with his internship pay.
Police reported that the man confessed to the stabbing “without hesitation.”
The police also stated that a full investigation has been launched into the incident and are working to manage the aftermath.
This stabbing follows another tragic event in southern China earlier this week, where at least 35 people were killed when a man drove his car into a crowd outside a stadium in Zhuhai, reportedly due to a personal grievance related to a divorce settlement.
The two attacks have sparked concerns about a growing trend of public violence in China, with some social media commentators suggesting that these incidents reflect a wider issue of individuals “taking revenge on society” by targeting strangers due to personal frustrations.
