Beijing – Reports are coming in from China that two nursery children and a teacher was stabbed to death after a crazed man went on a rampage in the eastern region of the country.

The same reports say that 20 other children and staff members at the nursery have been injured, two said to be in critical condition.

The Chinese media have also been silent on the latest attack fearing that news coverage of the incident will prompt new attacks as was seen earlier in the year.

The Chinese government has even gone as far as deleting post off of forums to limit the spread of the news.

Chinese officials also opted not to publish any details of the latest school attack which is why the name and position of the attacker and whether he has been caught or not weren’t released.

However through some media outlets and locals in the area it has been alleged that the attacker was a man in his late 20’s or early 30’s and is thought to have mental illness.

It was also said that the attack took place at the end of the day while the children were going home. The man is thought to have posed as a parent or guardian though it is not yet known if he did have children that belonged to him.

The attack came just days after 17 people were killed and dozens injured after a man went on a rampage with a tractor.

The latest school attack came just three month after a man went on a killing spree at a nursery fatally wounding seven children and two teachers and injuring 29 children.
