35 people killed as driver rams into crowd at a sports center in China
HONG KONG — Thirty-five people were killed and 43 more were injured when a driver deliberately rammed his car into a crowd outside a sports center in southern China, police said Tuesday.
A 62-year-old man was detained at the scene after he drove his small off-road vehicle into people exercising at Zhuhai Sports Center late Monday, the Zhuhai Public Security Bureau said in a statement, calling the incident “serious and vicious.”
Police identified the man by his last name, Fan. He was in a coma after he harmed himself with a knife in his car, police said, adding that he was still being treated and couldn’t be questioned.
Police said Fan was dissatisfied with the division of property after his divorce, according to an initial investigation.
Fan is under criminal detention. The 43 injured people are in non-life-threatening situations, police said.
Videos geolocated by NBC News show people lying on the ground covered in blood near the sports center and some people wailing.
In a relatively rare move, Chinese President Xi Jinping called for Fan to be “severely punished in accordance with the law,” state media Xinhua News reported.
Under Xi’s instructions, a central government working group has been set to the site to guide and oversee the response efforts, according to Xinhua.
The incident occurred on the eve of the Zhuhai air show, the country’s largest aerospace trade expo, where China debuted the J-35A jet, its latest model of stealth fighter jet.
News of the death toll sent shock waves through Chinese social media, although the topic ranked only 11th on Weibo, China’s X-like platform, which is subject to strict internet censorship.
“I’m utterly speechless aside from being shocked. I need a moment of silence to calm myself down,” a person wrote on Weibo.
China has experienced a number of recent attacks against civilians, including children and foreigners.
In September, a bus crushed into a group of students and parents outside a school in the eastern province of Shandong, killing at least 11 people.
The same month, a 10-year-old Japanese boy was killed when he was stabbed on his way to a Japanese school in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen.
In October, on the eve of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, three people were killed and 15 others were injured in a knife attack at a supermarket in Shanghai.

Russia economy meltdown as runaway inflation sees 64% potato price rise
Russian staples including potatoes, bread and dairy are soaring in price thanks to Vladimir Putin's war against Ukraine.
Russia's soaring inflation is hitting basic supermarket staples with the price of potatoes rising a staggering 64%.
The increased cost of spuds has been put down to bad weather, rising production costs, wage increases and a shortage of labour amid Russia's war in Ukraine.
Rosstat figures show Russians face widespread food price rises, with reports people are even stealing butter, the price of which has risen 27.5% this year, according to figures cited by Business Insider.
Vladimir Putin's continuing war against Ukraine has pushed inflation well above Russia's target levels.
Russia's central bank said seasonally adjusted inflation rose to 9.8% in September, up from 7.5% in August. In a desperate attempt to curb price rises, the central bank raised its headline interest rate to an all-time high of 21% in October.
Bread, dairy, chocolate and beer suppliers in Russia previously warned retailers of looming price increases up to 40%, according to business daily Kommersant.
German chocolate maker, Ritter Sport, which operates in Russia, announced plans to hike prices by 40% from last September while Mars warned of increases up to 19% on some of its products.
Russia's record high interest rates are putting firms at risk of defaulting on loans, including in the country's defence industry.
Oleg Kuzmin, an economist at Renaissance Capital, warned highly leveraged companies are particularly in danger, as they often rely on new loans to pay off old ones. But with record high interest rates, that option is becoming unaffordable.
Corporate bankruptcies have already risen by over 20% in the first nine months of this year compared to 2023, and there are fears it could soon rise even higher.
