Attack

Seven people were killed and seven others injured during a mass stabbing attack near a school in Kaiyuan, in the 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 60s.[4]
