Beijing, China (CNN) -- The death toll from an attack at a kindergarten in northwestern China rose to nine Wednesday after one of the wounded victims died, state media said.

A man with a kitchen cleaver hacked to death a teacher and seven kindergarten students -- five boys and two girls. He then returned home and committed suicide, state media said.

The teacher's mother, who was wounded in the attack, later died at a hospital -- bringing the toll to nine, the Xinhua news agency said.

Officials do not yet know what prompted the 48-year-old man to attack students at a private school in Shaanxi province.

It was at least the fourth such attack on school children in the last month.

In addition to the fatalities, 11 children were wounded in the attack. Among them were two children who were hospitalized in serious condition, Xinhua said.

Twenty children attended the school.

China has seen a spate of attacks at schools in recent days.

On April 30, a man armed with a hammer injured five preschool children in east China before setting himself on fire in a classroom suicide, a government spokesman told Xinhua news agency.

The attacker held two children in his arms as he poured gasoline over himself, the spokesman said. Teachers in Weifang City, Shandong province, pulled the children away as the man died, the spokesman said.

On April 29, at least 28 children were injured when a man with a knife attacked a kindergarten in east China, state media said. Most of the victims were 4-year-olds and three of the children were in critical condition.

Police arrested a 47-year-old suspect. The incident happened in Taixing city in Jiangsu province.

On April 28, a man attacked 18 students and a teacher with a knife at a primary school in southern China's Guangdong province, Xinhua said.

The attacks come despite the execution of Zheng Minsheng, 42, a former community doctor who stabbed eight children to death and wounded five others at an elementary school in eastern China on March 23.

Zheng, executed by a firing squad in Nanping City late last month, told investigators he carried out the attack because he was frustrated by "failures in his romantic life and in society," according to Xinhua.

China Daily newspaper quoted Nanjing University sociology professor Zhu Li as saying Zheng's attack inspired copycats.

"Some people may not have thought about stabbing school children, but due to the media's coverage of such a case, they got an idea," Zhu said.

Chinese authorities have begun teaching safety awareness in school curriculums, China Daily reported.

Officials also have tightened security in schools by hiring extra guards to escort students to and from class

 

This is the fourth attack on school children in China in a month. There must be something seriously wrong over there. I could see why people in china would be mad, but so many of them taking it out on children? That's just creepy.

There's been word its an organized attack with a meaning behind it. Obviously I dont know the meaning since im safely here in Australia but it's not only out of hand but down-right disgusting. slaughtering innocent children who couldn't even defend themselves...

 

EDIT: Copy-cats over a doctor in a series of killings... now why does this sound familiar...

That sounds like abortion.

 

This is horrible, the killing of innocents disgust me. The copycats probably saw how much attention the doctor got and wished the same for themselves. I would have had the original man killed by having him dragged by neck through the main street of the city which he was sentenced to death in, sometimes the evocation of fear is necessary.

Wonder how frequent these attacks would be without media coverage

 

Probably less, but that's like saying "I wonder how many less porn addicts there would be w/out the internet. Lets kill the internet!!1!!."

 

I disagree.. That's two different thing, I see how you're relating them, but it's completely irrelevant.. If the media did not speak of the first one, who knows maybe there wouldn't be 3 more in THE SAME MONTH. Guess we'll never know?

Yes, but imagine how mad Americans would be if the government covered up the ft. hood massacre.

I'm not saying cover up and I'm not saying media is evil/should be banned or something. I'm just curious what would have happened in a world with no media

The same number of incidents would happen without being reported. Does someone really need to listen to the news to think of stabbing some kids?

I know that it's not my decision, but why did this require a topic?

 

I mean, why this shooting, and not any of the other recent ones?

 

I just posted it because its the 4th in a month, so something must be wrong.

About the first one that happened a couple years back, in Beijing, at the hospital or something, my parents actually used to work there before we moved to Canada. They actually knew some people who's kids were injured/killed in that accident. It's kinda scary when I think about it.

 

But I guess when you have 1.4 billion people, there are bound to be crazy ones, and sadly, it just happens to be people wanting to kill innocent little kids.

Yeah you have to admit, somethings going on if it's 4 in a month, even if it is China, with all the people and such.

 

It probaly is the media coverage that inspires them, if you think about it he may have had an unfufilling 48 years of his life, and this was his chance to be known in a country of 1.4 billion, he may have had some other sort of mental problem that got the best of him, unleashed by the prevous attacks.

As said there will always be deranged people in a country, or world this size, stuff like this will happen, it does happen and it will continue to happen, in reality what can you do about it? Try to cover it all up? No way that would work.

You know what stuck out to me? No one used GUNS...?

 

Isn't there (I may be wrong) a limit on how many kids you can have? Maybe the parents want to have some/more but cannot, so they took out their anger on little kids to try and make the kid's parents suffer. I've been studying up on serial killers, and while technically these are mass murderers, because serial killers tend to have an "incubation period" that is a popular motive for serial killers. If I lived in China atm, homeschool time L.

I disagree with you on that one man. The media has a huge influence on terrorists, killers, rapists, even arsonists.. It's no different just because they're in china.
