A former doctor armed with a large knife stabbed eight elementary school children to death and and wounding five others in China this morning.

The Telegraph reports:

The man, who reportedly had a history of mental health problems, used a large knife in the killings after 7am local time on Tuesday at the school in Fuzhou, in eastern China's Fujian province, an official said.
Eight children from Nanping City Experimental Elementary School were killed, and five were being treated at a hospital, it was claimed.
Six of the children died at the scene and two more succumbed to their injuries in hospital.
The Chinese state news agency Xinhua quoted an official from the Nanping city government office claiming the man was a former community clinic doctor.
The official, who would only give his name as Wu, said the attacker was 41 or 42 and had resigned from his post at the community clinic but when that took place was not clear.
