New Delhi, Aug 3: In a knife attack that happened Wednesday at a kindergarten in Jianxi province, southeast China, three people were killed and six others were injured.
“A gangster wearing a cap and mask entered the private kindergarten in Anfu county at about 10:00 am local time (0200 GMT),” police said in a statement.
An police officer 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.
