China’s mass killings spark calls for support and understanding to prevent repeat

Following a spate of mass killings in China, the country’s legal professionals are calling for better mental health and social resources while urging authorities to dig for the deeper reasons behind these attacks. The 21-year-old suspect had studied at the institute, and police said he was unhappy with his low pay at a factory internship. Some people have questioned whether there was a pattern to the attacks.
