A teacher wielding a knife broke into a primary school in southern China and stabbed 15 students and a teacher Wednesday, the same day another school attacker was executed for killing eight children last month, police and state media reported.
The attacker taught at another primary school nearby, the official Xinhua News Agency reported.
None of the 15 students nor the teacher is in life-threatening condition, said the director of the command center at the Leizhou Public security Bureau, who gave his name as Qin.
The attacker, identified by a local official as Chen Kangbing, broke into Leicheng No. 1 Primary School in Leizhou city about 3 p.m. (0700 GMT) and hacked at the students and teacher, Xinhua said. He teaches at the Hongguan Primary School in nearby Baisha town, the report said. He is in police custody.
The fourth and fifth graders were stabbed in their heads, backs and arms, Xinhua said, citing comments from Li Changwu, Leizhou city's Communist Party secretary.
A nurse at emergency clinic of Leizhou People's Hospital said staff there treated eight of the students for knife wounds to the head. "None of them have life-threatening injuries," said the nurse, who would give only her surname Wu.
