Stabbing Leaves 8 Children Dead in China

At No. 2 High School in Ruzhou, a man broke into the dormitory when all were asleep. Armed with a knife, he stabbed eight children to death and left four more injured. Police are on patrol to capture the stabber, along with searching for a motive and identifying victims. China is well-known for its low crime rate, but due to recent stabbing attacks in schools and day cares, government officials have commanded more surveillance and higher security measures to be taken. Lately, one man convicted of stabbing 25 young children was executed, although none of his victims died. This verdict fit the crime because the court ruled that these actions were "especailly cruel."
