Chinese law restricts the sale and possession of firearms. Therefore, these massive attacks are usually carried out with homemade knives or explosives. Suspects of these attacks often experience mental instability or social dissatisfaction.

In June this year, a security guard at a kindergarten in Guangxi province stabbed 39 people with a knife and was later sentenced to death.

Earlier in 2018, a man killed one person and injured 12 others in a knife attack at a Beijing shopping mall.

In another development, police in Rockford, Illinois, USA, asked people to stay away from the area near the Don Carter Lanes bowling alley after three people were killed in a shooting here.

The incident occurred on December 26, killing 3 people and injuring 3 others. Sheriff Dan O’Shea said they are opening an investigation and confirmed that a suspect has been detained. However, the firing motor has not been announced.

The Don Carter Lanes yard board of directors posted a message on Facebook, asking people to pray for the injured being treated at the hospital.

Shootings are frequent in the United States, but efforts to solve the problem are still legally blocked at the federal level.
