Six people were killed and one wounded in an attack at a kindergarten in south China's Guangdong province on Monday (July 10), a spokeswoman for the city government said.

She did not offer details about the identities or ages of the victims, nor the weapon used in the attack, which took place in the city of Lianjiang.The suspect was a 25-year-old male surnamed Wu, local police said in a statement.Videos shot by passersby claiming to show the crime scene were removed from video-sharing platform Douyin and Twitter-like Weibo.Violent crime has been on the rise as the economy has grown in recent decades and the gap between rich and poor has widened rapidly.

Last August, three people were killed and six others wounded in a knife attack at a kindergarten in southeast China's Jiangxi province. In June of the previous year, 37 students and two adults were wounded by a knife-wielding attacker at a primary school in southern China. The same year, eight schoolchildren died and two others were wounded in a"school-related criminal case" in the central Hubei province, with a 40-year-old man arrested.
