Six Killed In Stabbing Attacks In China Kindergarten

Six people including three children have been killed in a kindergarten stabbing in China‘s south-eastern Guangdong Province.

However, Police said they have arrested a 25-year-old man with the surname Wu In Lianjiang.

The other victims are a teacher and two parents, AFP reported, quoting a local official. One person is also injured.

The attack happened on Monday at 07:40 local time, just as parents were dropping their children off for summer classes. The man was arrested at 08:00.

As videos of the attack spread across Chinese social media, they sparked outrage and shock.
