At Least 28 Dead, Dozens Injured in China Knife-Wielding Spree




I decided to post this in memory of the victims of this horrible act.

Positive thoughts and prayers for the people who died and for their loved ones.


Sad disbelief

A group of knife-wielding men attacked a train station in southwestern China on Saturday, leaving at least 28 dead and more than 160 injured in what the country is calling a terrorist strike, the official Xinhua News Agency said.

Four policemen were also injured in the mayhem, which broke out around 9 p.m. (8 a.m. ET) at the Kunming Railway Station in the capital of southwest China's Yunnan Province.

Yang Haifei, a local resident of Yunnan, told Xinhua that he was attacked and sustained injuries on his chest and back.

Yang said he was buying a ticket when he saw a group rush into the station, most of them dressed in black, and started stabbing people.

Police investigate after a group of armed men attacked people at Kunming railway station in China's Yunnan province on Saturday.

"I saw a person come straight at me with a long knife and I ran away with everyone," he said, adding that people who were slower were severely injured.

"They just fell on the ground," he added.

Yunnan province Vice Governor Gao Feng held an emergency meeting at Yuannan No. 1 People's Hospital, where the injured are being rushed, and said that local hospitals have received 162 people.

The state-run Yunnan News said that the men were wearing uniforms when they stormed the railway station and that gunshots were heard after police arrived. Several suspects have been detained while police investigate.

Photos circulating online showed scattered luggage and bodies lying on the floor in blood. The motive behind the attack was not immediately clear, but China has seen a number of mass stabbings and other attacks carried out by people bearing grudges against society.

Rest in Peace Bettie Boo. See u soon.

They used knives because guns are banned for private citizens and hard to acquire.

Expect more of these type incidents.

I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think.

What is this world coming to? It's always a said tragedy when innocent people lose their lives for no apparent reason.
