China Kindergarten Stabbing Leaves 3 Dead And 6 Wounded In Jiangxi School

In a knife incident that happened at a kindergarten on Wednesday in the Jiangxi province of southeast China, three people were killed and six others were injured.

According to a police statement posted on China’s version of Twitter, Weibo, a “gangster wearing a cap and mask” broke into the private kindergarten in Anfu county at around 10:00 am local time (0200 GMT), they claimed. They said that the suspect, 48, is still at large.

“Public security organs are making every effort to hunt down the suspect,” the police statement said.

An officer of the law can be seen escorting a small child to an ambulance in a video of the incident that the government-run Beijing Daily posted online.

The victims’ ages have not been disclosed.

China generally forbids its inhabitants from carrying firearms, so mass violent crime is uncommon there. However, there have been a number of large-scale stabbings in recent years.

And around the country, fatal knife assaults deliberately targeting kindergarten and school youngsters have been reported, allegedly committed by those seeking retribution on society.

A knife-wielding guy entered a kindergarten in southern China last April, killing two children and injuring 16 others.

More recently, four people were hurt in a stabbing last month at a prominent hospital in Shanghai before the attacker was shot and detained by authorities.

In June of last year, a man attacked bystanders on a pedestrian shopping area in the eastern Chinese city of Anqing, resulting in six additional fatalities and 14 injuries.
