28 youngsters stabbed at school in China
A man entered a school in Zhongxin and stabbed 28 young kindergarteners before being stopped. He also injured two teachers and a security guard. The official Xinhua News Agency identified the attacker as Xu Yuyuan, a 47 yr old unemployed man using an eight-inch knife. No motive was given, but experts called it a copycat rampage triggered by similar incidents Wednesday and last month.
A witness to the early morning attack said people outside heard screams coming from the three-story building and rushed inside. "It was too horrible to imagine. I saw blood everywhere, and kids bleeding from their heads," a visibly shaken Hu Tao told The Associated Press hours later.
Hu, who owns a small restaurant across the street from the school, said a delivery man used a fire extinguisher to knock Xu down.
Set in a sidestreet off the main avenue of the heavily industrialized city, the kindergarten has a whimsical European-style castle turret rising above its gate and a cartoon-like bunny by the entrance, which was sealed off by police tape.
America's historic Chinatowns, home for a century to immigrants seeking social support and refuge from racism, are fading as rising living costs, jobs elsewhere and a desire for wider spaces lure Asian-Americans more than ever to the suburbs.
