A vengeful man stabbed 12 children with a kitchen knife at a kindergarten in southern China on Wednesday, seriously injuring five of them, local authorities said.
The attacker “sneaked into” the school in the afternoon and stabbed children in his child’s class while the students were eating, according to a statement from the Pingxiang city government’s information office, citing police. Two teachers fought back with plastic chairs, and police called to the school in the largely rural region of Guangxi managed to detain him.
None of the children have life-threatening injuries, the statement said.
The government said the suspect was Qin Peng’an, a man from Nanshan village that is under the jurisdiction of Pingxiang city. It said Qin told staff at Xiaocongzai Kindergarten that he was picking up his child as an excuse to get into the school.
It said an initial police investigation found that Qin felt bullied in the village so he stabbed the children out of anger and revenge.
In recent years, China has had several incidents of attackers entering schools and stabbing children, mostly carried out by people with vendettas against society.

Wow…I’m surprised Chuck Schumer & the democrat’s aren’t calling for gun control on this news…seriously I’m glad the children are going to be going to okay!
No kidding! I’m sure the Arizona plane crash would have been avoided with strict gun control as well. Oh the humanity…if it saves only one child!
Guns, knives, poison and vehicles don’t kill people – PEOPLE use them as weapons of opportunity. More people die every year in auto crashes than by firearms or knives, etc. Let’s ban cars and save thousands more lives every year! My entire gun collection has killed less people (0) than Ted Kennedy’s car!! PLEASE!!
I am age 90, live in an isolated valley, nearest neighbor is 1/2 mile away. If the gov’t were to take my shotgun from me, I would have no defense against intruders .Crooks will always find guns.. If you take our guns, where does that leave us??
The government taking your weapons is a direct violation of the Second Amendment of our Bill of Rights. These rights shall not be infringed upon, no matter how much fear mongering the government does. Back in the old days if a criminal did their time their rights were restored. Today they use fear and doing time is only an excuse to strip a person of their rights after their time is served.
Now Obama is implementing an order that says anyone on disability should be stripped of their second amendment right, these rights that shall not be infringed upon where put there to keep the government from gaining this much power over the people and I don’t care how many judges, lawyers and law enforcement say otherwise. To do so is to impede our rights as Americans under the same Bill of Rights and Constitution they swore an oath to uphold.
Which he has ALREADY USED to do that very thing to VETERANS! I KNOW, I’M ONE OF THEM! Better yet, the very VA that put me ON said list… REVERSED ITSELF almost immediately.. BUT GUESS WHAT? THEY HAD MY FOID AND CC PERMIT CONFISCATED ANYWAY!
THEY NEED KNIFE CONTROL LAWS! Just ask any Liperal LOON, it ISN’T the MAN who is to blame… it’s the EASY ACCESS TO KNIVES! (Yeah, reasonable and intelligent people have LONG been AWARE that such CHILDISH NONSENSE is NOT “common sense” but insanity!)
Yes,to gun control. Give it back to the PEOPLEAND get the government out.
The liberal democratic people’s government of OBAMA has been cancelled due to lack of interest
