Stabbing Rampage at Shanghai Walmart Kills Three

A knife attack in a Walmart supermarket in Shanghai resulted in three fatalities and 15 injuries on Monday night. The attacker, a 37-year-old man surnamed Lin, was apprehended by police shortly after the incident, which authorities believe stemmed from Lin's personal financial disputes. The attack occurred in the Songjiang district, just before China's weeklong National Day holiday, raising security concerns. Witnesses described a scene of panic and chaos, with reports of blood and a swift police response. Similar violent incidents involving knives have been on the rise in China, leading to public unease and discussions about mental health issues among perpetrators. The incident has drawn comparisons to past attacks, including the stabbing of a Japanese schoolboy last month in Shenzhen, which heightened tensions within the Japanese community in China.
