A 46 year-old man broke into a court office in Hunan on Tuesday and shot six people before killing himself, the AP reported. Zhu Jun, head of security at the Lingling district post office in Yongzhou, Hunan, killed three judges and wounded three others before taking his own life. State media said that Zhu was unhappy about a three-year old court adjudication of property division in his divorce case. Officials said that the judges Zhu murdered had no connection with his earlier case. On the same day, the Harbin Daily reported that a woman attacked nine fellow passengers on a train with a scrap of iron, stabbing them in their arms and legs. The mass attacks occur in the context of increasing concern over the recent spate of assaults on schoolchildren, which provoked the government to send police to guard some schools.
