Abstract

BEIJING -- Gates and cameras have been installed at schools. Security guards have been trained to fend off knife-wielding attackers. China's top security official convened a nationwide conference call, ordering underlings to protect children when they attend classes. But on Wednesday, the latest in a streak of copycat assaults was also the most deadly: a landlord with a kitchen cleaver barged into a kindergarten in central China, hacked to death seven children, their teacher and her mother and returned home while rescuers rushed to the scene before taking his own life.
