Chinese Slasher Kills 8 Boys

(Zhengzhou) A man broke into three dormitories at a high school and "chopped eight people to death" and injured four others while they slept just before midnight Thursday. All victims were senior high school students at Second Senior High School of Ruzhou City, Henan Province, in Central China.

The man escaped and is still at large.

School stabbings have become an ugly trend in China with six attacks in the last four months. Public anger has been aroused and some schools have started employing professional guards to protect the students.
