BEIJING (AP) — Eight people were killed and 17 others injured after a stabbing attack at a vocational school in the eastern city of Yixing on Saturday night, local police said.
The attack occurred at the Wuxi Vocational Institute of Arts and Technology at around 18:30 local time on Saturday, the Yixing police said in a statement.
The suspect, a 21-year old graduate of the school surnamed Xu, was detained on site.
Police said Wu had failed his school exams and could not get a graduation certificate, and that he was dissatisfied about his pay at an internship.
This is the second deadly attack within a week after a man drove his car into people at a sports facility in the southern city of Zhuhai, leaving 35 people dead and injured 43 others.
