‘Bullied’ boy kills 2 in rampage

A schoolboy went on a stabbing rampage in southern China, killing two classmates and wounding four in an apparent rage over bullies who demanded that he pay them protection money.
Wu Jianguo, 17, attacked his classmates in a stairwell of the Dianbai County No 3 Middle School in Guangdong province on Tuesday.
The New Express, a Guangdong paper, reported on its website that Jianguo used a small knife for sharpening pencils in the attack. All the victims were boys but it was not clear if they were the same students who allegedly threatened him. The four wounded boys were in a stable condition, the paper said.
Jianguo’s parents took him to a local police station on Tuesday night, where he confessed. Wu Yunfang, Jianguo’s father, was quoted as saying that his son was a shy boy who often had cuts and bruises, apparently from fighting at school. (AP)
