[ARABNEWS] A knifeman stabbed three children to death and maimed five more plus a teacher in a rampage Monday at a Chinese primary school that refused to enroll his daughter, reports said.
The attacker killed himself by jumping from a building following the carnage at a school in Shiyan in the central province of Hubei, according to the official news agency Xinhua. The six maimed have been hospitalized, it said, adding two were seriously hurt. The man, surnamed Chen, "was struck down in his prime," Xinhua said without providing further details.
"An initial probe suggests Chen held a grudge after his daughter was denied registration into the new semester's courses for not completing her summer vocation homework," the news agency added, citing police. A local police official declined to provide information, saying: "I am not clear, the police bureau officials are at that school investigating." |
