Man Arrested After 16 Kids Shot At Chinese School

POSTED: 8:51 am CDT October 14, 2005

BEIJING -- Seven students were hospitalized with severe wounds following the attack at the Niutoushan Primary School; nine others suffered less serious injuries, the report said.The government of China reports the arrest of a man accused in a schoolyard shooting Wednesday that wounded 16 children and two adults, including the principal. The official Xinhua News Agency reported that the 33-year-old man was captured Thursday in Beijing, hundreds of miles from the town where the shooting happened. He's accused of opening fire with what are described as six homemade guns at a schoolyard where youngsters were doing their morning exercises. Villagers said the man is single and was bitter about not having children. They quote him as saying he wanted to kill other people's kids because he didn't have any of his own. A teacher who answered the phone at the school said the man was an ex-convict who lived in the town. "This person had no personal connection to the school or teachers. I think he did it for revenge against society," said the teacher, who refused to give her name. The most seriously injured students suffered wounds to their arms, legs and heads, the teacher said. She said one student suffered a damaged lung and two teachers were slightly injured as they rushed to get children indoors during the attack. China has suffered a series of attacks in schools over the past two years, usually involving knives and often blamed on personal grudges or people with mental problems. The attacks have killed a total of at least three children and left dozens injured. The central government responded by ordering schools throughout the country to hire guards and take other steps to tighten security. In the attack Wednesday, the middle-aged man opened fire at about 8:15 a.m. as children were exercising at the school, Xinhua said, citing a teacher identified only by the surname Chen. It said a cable television company employee working nearby ran to the school after hearing the shots and was struck in the head by the man with a gun as he escaped.

Yeah, that's just brilliant. Since I can't have kids, no one can! What the fucking hell.

That's really disturbing. I never wanted kids before I had my own, but I wouldn't want to kill other people's kids. This man has some serious problems. I don't want to be an over protective mother, but in the same sense, I feel like I need to be. If you just listen to the stories in the news it will make you want to home-school your children and never leave them alone for even a second. I really hate that the world is so dangerous that I don't feel like I can let my children play outside without me. It's so sad.

OMG, that's just devastating. What a sick man. Thank goodness he never had any of his own children, he's obviously not right in the head. *shudders*

I don't think any of the kids died in this particular shooting. It's just shocking, because when I hear about school shootings, I usually assume it's a student. This is somehow more terrifying.

It also implies that they were younger kids. It is, of course, upsetting regardless of their age, but the fact that these kids might have been 6, 7 or 8 really bugs me.
