Sadly it happens everywhere...
On another thread the subject of China came up etc.
This from BBC dated today.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-43921567
At least seven students have been stabbed to death and 12 injured in a knife attack outside a school in northern China, officials say.
The knife-wielding man attacked the students near Mizhi County Number Three secondary school in Shaanxi province as they were heading home for the day, officials said.
A suspect is in police custody.
Chinese police have given his surname as Zhao and said he was a former student of the school.
They say he was motivated to take revenge because he was bullied when he studied there, the BBC's Stephen McDonnell reports.
Photos on social media showed several young students lying on the ground, surrounded by shocked onlookers.
A local government statement said the attack happened at the school at around 18:10 local time (10:10 GMT).
The injured children are receiving treatment, the propaganda department of Mizhi County said on social media.
Their exact ages have not been given, but reports suggest they may be middle school children, which would make them aged 12 to 15.
China has seen several fatal knife attacks in recent years. The fact the latest stabbing targeted schoolchildren recalls a spate of unconnected knife attacks at Chinese schools between 2010 and 2012, which left at least 25 dead and more than 100 injured.
More recently, a knifeman killed a woman and injured 12 others at a Beijing shopping centre in February.
In July 2017, two people died and nine were injured by a knife-wielding man at a Wal-Mart supermarket in the southern city of Shenzhen.
The country executed three men in March 2015 after they were found guilty of a savage knife attack at Kunming station, where 29 people were hacked to death and more than 100 others wounded. The trio had been convicted of murder and terrorism offences.

Meh. Guns were not involved, so it is not important news.

The story you won't see on CBC mass killings done with knives unless it was an assault knife.

Always very sad to hear this sort of thing. However, I'm surprised the Chinese Government even allows this sort of news to come out.

Sadly it is not the first attack of this sort, I've heard about few more when I lived there (they have few English TV channels).
I am actually surprised you think Chinese government would hide it.

Pretty sure they don’t want to scare tourists so lots more is probably surpressed.
Notice their rehabilitation program seems to work.... none of the offenders seems to reoffend... or be a burden to society.

Note:
It's also very important that it be Black. But at least a high capacity mag and a
bump-stock won't apply.

Clearly it was because of Donald T.
