It was the second such attack in Leizhou in recent years. In February 2008, two students at the Leizhou No. 2 Middle School were stabbed to death by a former classmate who broke in, attacked a boy and a girl, then stabbed himself and jumped from the fifth floor of the building. The attacker, Chen Wenzhen, died. He had dropped out half a year earlier because he suffered from headaches and could not concentrate on his studies, state media said at the time. China has witnessed 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. Two weeks ago a mentally ill man hacked to death a second-grader and an elderly woman with a meat cleaver in southern Guangxi, and injured five other people.
