Dozens Killed in Tragic Car Rampage at Chinese Stadium
A devastating car attack in Zhuhai, southern China, has claimed at least 35 lives and left 45 injured, in what is believed to be the deadliest public violence in the country in decades. Authorities reported that on Monday, a 62-year-old man, identified as Mr. Fan, drove his car into a stadium and struck groups of people exercising on the track.
Local reports indicate that the victims included elderly individuals and children. The driver is believed to have carried out the “serious and vicious attack” due to discontent over a divorce settlement. He was apprehended while attempting to escape from the Zhuhai Sports Center and is currently in a coma due to self-inflicted injuries, according to a police statement.
The incident has shocked the nation and prompted an outcry for justice. President Xi Jinping has vowed “severe punishment” for the assailant and directed “all-out efforts” to provide medical treatment to the injured.
