Man Executed By Firing Squad For Killing Nine Students In China

A man convicted of killing nine middle school students in a knife attack was executed, Thursday, in northwest China’s Shaanxi Province.

On July 10, the intermediate court in Yulin sentenced Zhao Zewei to death after finding him guilty of attacking students near the No. 3 Middle School in Mizhi County, on April 27, leading to nine deaths and 12 injuries.

Zhao, a former student of the middle school, bought five knives online and planned the attack because he wanted to get revenge on his former classmates who had teased him.
Failing to find his classmates, Zhao randomly stabbed students who were leaving the school.
