Twenty-two primary school children were wounded – several critically – in a knife attack Friday in central China, authorities said.
The attack took place at the entrance to the Chenpeng Village Primary School in Henan province, according to the public information department of Guangshan, the area where the school is located.
China was hit by a spate of knife and cleaver attacks that targeted schoolchildren in 2010.

That's alot of injured children for 1 person with just a knife. I sure hope they will all be ok.
I pray for the recovery of the victims in China. As we in the United States, and Connecticut, are suffering, so are they. God Bless all those suffering at this time.
Crazys everywhere! Tragedies like this wouldn't happen if every law abiding citizen in China had a concealed knife permit. This according to the National Knifemans Association (NKA).
In China people do need ID to buy those big knives，so criminals can only use the small ones to stab people and just got them injured，not dead。
This is wholly awful.
What would possess someone to stab children??
In China, one crazy man armed with a knife injures 23 people.
Had this been in America, the crazy man would have had a gun, and it would be 23 DEAD.
He did, and it is 26 dead so far in Connecticut. God help all the children everywhere, they are in a world of madness.
I totally agree with you tim. Twenty-two alive, but hurt children, compared to 20 dead children and 6 adults. Automatic machine guns have to go period. Gun laws or no gun laws they need revision. Why is this story almost backpage news compared to the conniticut one. You hit the nail on the head.
SSRI's @ banasy, what else could drive someone out of their mind to act in this manner? Really.
Do you have knowledge on this case that nobody else knows about?
If you do, please share.
An equal scenario would be a schizophrenic hearing voices saying "God told me to do it."
Give it up on the SSRI's already. People that do these random acts of violence are insane.
It's not the gun that kill or the knife it's the person
Again, people cannot kill if they dont have guns.
This is ridiculous two schools in two different country's, what's going on with people and schools, if anything they should be upset with the other country's trying out nuclear missile warheads.....god bless the families in sorrow
Every American needs to read these two stories and think really, really hard about gun control. Seriously, the logic is not that difficult. Is it?
...Just get the criminals and crazy people to give up their guns first..... then you can have mine..
Agree@Bombo
Well said@Portland tony.
Well its not hard to imagine what horror this man would have unleashed with an assault rifle.
It's hard to respond to senseless violence, especially when the most innocent among us are the recipients! You have to be truly twisted to want to take your anger out on happy little kids, going to school in the morning to learn stuff! My heart goes out to families in both nations, on this tragic day!!
This coupled with the attack in Connecticut really show that need for proper mental health evaluation.
If the conn. guy didnt have access to g u n he would've found another way-case in point rite here
but then, people will be injured...not dead.
@ Mary, contrary to your belief not everyone is taking prescription meds! Some people are just plain crazy!
All I can say is I've never heard of a drive-by stabbing!!! Guns don't KILL people-easy access to guns makes it easier for people to kill people-in Conneticut the gunman had the easiest access of all-his mother purchased all of the guns legally!!
This is a sad event and I am glad the the person using the knife was inept. If the person who did this was a knowledgeable about using a knife as I am then there would be 22 dead children. I guarantee you. I will concede that knowledge was a factor where in CT you can be inept with a gun and still be dangerous. I am a little concerned that we point to the laws of a totalitarian communist system of government to show how banning weapons in the hands of civilians is a good idea. Keep in mind they started with banning guns then the rest of the rights followed.
