Breaking News : 27 Dead, 109 Injured in Knife Attack at Chinese Train Station

At the Kunming train station in China's Yunnan province, 27 people have been killed and 109 are injured after a group of men wielding knives went on a rampage this evening.

The details are still unraveling as to a motive and a capture of the criminals, but local news outlet K6 is reporting that "several of the attackers were shot by police and that victims were being transported to local hospitals."

A group of knife-wielding men attacked a train station in southwestern China on Saturday, leaving at least 27 people dead and another 109 injured, the official Xinhua News Agency said, making it one of the deadliest attacks in China in recent years.

Xinhua did not provide more details about the evening attack at the Kunming Railway Station in Yunnan province, or identify the attackers. Kunming city police said they did not have any immediate information to release about the attack.

Local television station K6 said that several of the attackers were shot by police and that victims were being transported to local hospitals.

The scene at Kunming, as it is captured on Twitter, is gruesome.

This type of violence in China is not rare—in late 2012, a 36-year-old man attacked a primary school in Henan province, wounding 22 children in the process. In the middle of last year, a knife gang killed 36 people at a police station in Xinjiang province, with claims that these types of violent acts are often methods of protest.
