A man who recently served time for attempted murder allegedly
killed eight children and injured two others who were attending
their first day of school in China, police said.

The 40-year-old man, only identified by the surname Yu, was
taken into custody late Monday after he allegedly attacked the
kids at an elementary school in Chaoyangpo village of Enshi city
in Hubei province.

It was not immediately clear how the children were attacked.

The man was released from Hubei prison last June after serving a
sentence for attempted murder, according to local media. A
possible motive was not immediately clear either.

The attack is the latest in a string of similar incidents in
China.

In January, 20 children were injured after a man attacked them
inside an elementary school in Beijing — and in June 2018, two
children were stabbed to death by a man outside an elementary
school in Shanghai.

In April of last year, nine were killed and more than a dozen
injured outside a middle school in northwestern Shaanxi province
by an attacker who allegedly was a former pupil seeking revenge
for having been bullied.
