BBC: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three people died and 15 others were injured after a man went on a stabbing rampage inside a Walmart supermarket in Shanghai on Monday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chinese police said they arrested a 37-year-old man surnamed Lin at the scene, adding that he had come to Shanghai to “vent his anger due to a personal economic dispute”. Further investigations are continuing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incident took place at a shopping mall in Songjiang, a densely populated district in the city’s south-west, which is also home to several universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police said the three people who died succumbed to their injuries at hospital. The others “did not sustain life-threatening wounds” and are not believed to be in danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Discussions about the incident now appear to have been censored on Chinese social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The supermarket located in Ludu International Commercial Plaza was open for business on Tuesday but with additional security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Firearms are banned in China but the country has seen a spate of knife attacks in recent months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last month, a 10-year-old Japanese student died<\/a> a day after he was stabbed near his school in southern China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In June this year, four US college instructors were stabbed in a public park<\/a> in the northeast city of Jilin. In May, a man stabbed dead two people and wounded 21 others at a hospital<\/a> in the southern province of Yunnan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BBC: Three people died and 15 others were injured after a man went on a stabbing rampage inside a Walmart supermarket in Shanghai on Monday night.
