A knife-wielding man attacked a kindergarten class of 4-year-olds in eastern China on Thursday, slashing 28 children in the third such rampage at a Chinese school in a month.

The three stabbings have been part of a series of school attacks in recent years, most blamed on people with personal grudges or suffering from mental illness, leading to calls for improved security. One sociologist said the attacks may happen in clusters, with one assailant triggering copycat attackers.

Five of the students injured Thursday were in critical condition in the hospital in Jiangsu province, said Zhu Guiming, an official with the propaganda department in Taixing city. Zhu said two teachers and a security guard at Zhongxin Kindergarten also were hurt in the attack, which happened early in the school day.

The suspect was identified as Xu Yuyuan, 47, who had been jobless since being fired from an insurance company in 2001, the official Xinhua News Agency said.

The attacker burst into a classroom at the kindergarten, waving an eight-inch (20-centimeter) knife and stabbing a security guard who tried to stop him, Xinhua said.

this story needs to be SomewherE else!

STAT!

A case study in the communal spirit of China. Why stab one child when there's enough knife for 28?

KNIVES NEED TO BE BANNED! THEY KILL PEOPLE!

There goes the 2012 Chinese Olympic team

Equally absurd follow-up. If those 5-year-olds were allowed to pack, this would have never happened!

They were packing.....pencils. And they were no match for his knife.

Exactly. They brought pencils to a knife fight.

Dumb kids. Should have done their research.

What can you expect when there's no waiting period for knife purchase in China....

Just think of how many the guy could have gotten if he would have saved up and gotten a sword. Or even a machete?

Something strange going on in China - now a guy attacks preschoolers with a hammer. Not sure why there's all this anger towards kids over there these days.

Didn't you read the China thread? The kids were the reason that they got a gold medal taken away because they were not old enough. It was the kids fault for not being older.

They're taking Thomas Friedman to the next level.

Kids are more troublesome than even wolves.
I'm guessing that was his reason for the attack.
