Children Massacred at Chinese School



Blood-spattered Entrance
Nanping City Experimental Elementary School

(Fujian Province, China) This is a horribly sad report. Thoughts are with the families and friends.

Eight children were killed and five seriously wounded when a former doctor brandishing a knife attacked pupils as they stood outside the gates to their school in southeasterern China this morning.

Shouting “They won’t let me live, they are driving me mad. I won’t let anyone live”, the man grabbed at children waiting in line for the start of classes at the Nanping City Experimental Elementary School in Fujian province at 7.20am.

Within seconds the former doctor at a community clinic had stabbed to death eight children with a 10in (25cm) knife. Another five lay bleeding on the ground. Wounded children tried to crawl away and then fell as they tried to escape.

One woman had just dropped her son off at school and barely had time to turn round before he had been slashed to death by the attacker.

The attacker, 42-year-old Wu, was finally wrestled to the ground. Reportedly, he has a history of mental illness.
