Two people were killed and at least nine injured in a knife attack at a Walmart in southern China, state media agency Xinhua said Monday. The attack, made using a kitchen knife, occurred around 9 p.m. Sunday at a store in Shenzhen. Xinhua said the man was currently unemployed but had left his home of Chongqing in southwest China in 2014 to become a migrant worker. Sunday's killings were the latest in a series of knife attacks in the country. China's tight control of firearms is often cited as one reason for the high prevalence of knife attacks in particular.
