Man with knife attacks kindergarten in China

A man with a knife cam and stabbed 28 children in a kindergarten in east China this morning. Most of the victims were 4 year olds and three of the children are in critical condition. Police say they have a 47-year old suspect. The incident happened in Taixing city in Jiangsu province. A month ago a man came and and stabbed eight children to death and wounded five others. He was executed Wednesday. Authorities said he carried out the attack because he was frustrated at "failures in his romantic life." I think that is horrible. Why would a guy go into a school and stab 28 children who are four. And to take out his failure at a love life on children makes it even worse. I would hope they would make sure the guy is executed as well. It's sick for someone to even kill little kids because of their life. Go get help or something.

Massive quake hits China

A 7.1 earthquake hit China at about 7:49 a.m. in Qinghai Province. The quake killed at least 400 people and injuring 10,000 people, and many are still missing. Of the missing is 20 school students and 50 office workers. The officials are working on rescuing the school students. Where the quake hit many of the houses are of poor condition, being mad of mud, wood and brick. An official said that at least 32 people of been rescued from the debris. China National Radio, citing an official with the local Red Cross Society of China, said that 70 percent of the school buildings had collapsed in the Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, an area the size of South Korea that has a population of 350,000. A teacher said that 5 or the 1,000 students have died. At least 18 aftershocks measuring more than 6.0 followed the quake throughout the day.
To me, there seems to be a lot of earthquakes happening. It's kinda scary.
