Local authorities confirmed that the suspect, a recent graduate, was apprehended at the scene. The motive behind the attack, as stated by police, was a combination of factors including exam failure, lack of a graduation certificate, and dissatisfaction with internship compensation.

This incident marks the latest in a series of mass casualty events in China. In recent months, the country has witnessed a spate of attacks, including a deadly car crash in Zhuhai, a stabbing attack near a Beijing elementary school, a knife attack at a Shanghai supermarket, and a bus crash involving students in Tai'an.

As investigations into these incidents continue, concerns about public safety and mental health in China have heightened. (ILKHA)
