Knife Attack at Shanghai Walmart Kills Three

Three people were killed and 15 others injured in a knife attack at a Walmart supermarket in Shanghai on Monday evening. The suspect, a 37-year-old man named Lin, was arrested shortly after the incident. Police stated that Lin was motivated by a 'personal financial dispute' and had traveled to Shanghai to vent his anger. The attack occurred just before China's National Day holiday, contributing to heightened public concern. Although the majority of the injured are not in life-threatening condition, the incident adds to a series of knife attacks in China, where strict firearm regulations make knives the weapon of choice in such violent outbursts. The Chinese government has been actively censoring social media posts about the attack to manage public perception.
