Suspect's Motive Revealed
Authorities have arrested a 21-year-old student identified as the assailant. Initial investigations indicate that the suspect was motivated by frustration over failing to receive his graduation certificate after not passing his exams. Additionally, he expressed dissatisfaction with the financial rewards he received during his training. The police reported that the suspect has confessed to the crime, shedding light on the tragic circumstances that led to this violent outburst.
Context of Violence in Chinese Schools
This incident is part of a troubling trend of violence in educational institutions in China. In recent years, there have been several high-profile attacks, including a car ramming incident in Zhuhai earlier this week that claimed 35 lives and injured 43 others. While China is generally considered safe, these sporadic acts of violence raise concerns about security in schools and public spaces.
