There are reports that the man in question had carried out the attack after the school “refused to allow his daughter to register for new term.”

A teacher and five other children were injured in the attack.

This is the second school attack in China this year and has led to a call for improved security measures in school. School guards are currently not equipped to deal with such attacks.
