Hostage-taker is shot and killed by police after knife attack outside a high school in China, injuring seven and killing one
Daily Mail
A hostage-taker has been shot and killed by police today following a knife attack outside a high school in China.
The assailant was killed by a police sniper after holding a student hostage outside the school in Kunming, south-west China’s Yunnan Province at around local time 5pm.
The attacker, a 56-year-old male, also killed one person and injured seven before the hostage took place, the authorities said. The hostage was rescued safely.
Footage widely circulated on Chinese social media shows the shot being fired at the knife-wielding attacker, who was holding a schoolboy hostage, in the head.
A group of police officers rushed to rescue the abducted pupil and surround the assailant after he was killed.
The suspect was identified as a 56-year-old local male resident, known by his surname Wang, according to an official statement.
Wang killed one person and injured seven before the hostage took place at around 5pm on Friday outside the Experimental Middle School of Yunnan Normal University, the officials said.
The local police arrived at the scene immediately after being alerted. They conducted efforts to stabilise the suspect emotionally while more officers were dispatched to the location.
At about 6.40pm, the suspect was shot and killed. The hostage was rescued without injuries, the statement said.
The victims injured during the knife attack have been rushed to the hospital. An investigation is underway while the motive of the attack remains unclear.
The news comes after several knife attacks that occurred last year at schools across China have shocked the country.
Last September, a knife-wielding man injured five people including schoolchildren near a kindergarten in Guangzhou, Guangdong province.
Another incident involving 41 students and teachers injured took place in June 2020 at a school in Wuzhou, southern region Guangxi.
The attacker was sentenced to death last month.
