Student Kills 8, Leaves 17 with Injuries After Missing Out on Graduation List 

Grief and sorrow engulfed a vocational training school in Eastern China following the death of eight students.

CNN reported that a 21-year-old student at Wuxi Vocational Institute of Arts and Technology stormed the school and attacked fellow students.

According to the police, eight people were killed and 17 others wounded in the Saturday, November 16, knife attack.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the suspect, who was meant to graduate this year, acted in anger after failing his exams.

“He returned to the school to express his anger and commit these murders. Was motivated by “failing (an) exam, not receiving a graduation certificate, and dissatisfaction with internship compensation,” police said, adding that the suspect had confessed.

Videos from the scene showed several people lying motionless on the ground, some of them surrounded by onlookers as screams are heard in the background.
