Attack

Seven people were killed and seven others injured in a mass stabbing attack near a school in Kaiyuan, in Liaoning province. As the school was closed at the time of the incident, no students or teachers were hurt. The victims were all passersby, mainly middle-aged or elderly women. The attacker then stabbed and wounded a policeman before being arrested.[3] The suspect, identified as Yang Moufeng, is a man in his sixties.[4]
