At least 28 people were killed by knife-wielding attackers in a "violent terrorist attack" at a train station in the southwestern Chinese city of Kunming, and police shot dead five of the assailants, state media said on Sunday.

Another 113 people were wounded, the official Xinhua news agency said.

Kunming resident Yang Haifei told Xinhua that he was buying a ticket when he saw a group of people, mostly wearing black, rush into the station and start attacking bystanders.

"I saw a person come straight at me with a long knife and I ran away with everyone," he said, adding that the attackers caught those who were slower. "They just fell on the ground."

Survival of the fittest right there.

It's the xinjiang people apparantly. Usually they just sell sticks of meat around here, but they're Muslims so... you know. A bit of terrorism here and there is to be expected.

But but . . . Piers Morgan said that you can't kill a lot of people unless you have a gun.

Was he . . .. lying?

well if they were shot rather than stabbed I doubt that as many would have survived.

Everyone there should have had a gun, or this would've never have happened.

Haha

LOL, what I was gonna say. Seriously though, you don't need a gun to kill a lot of people. If you're at a concert or some other crowded event, you could easily stab a **** load of people unless there's police or security nearby. Even if Murrica found a way to confiscate every gun in the country, we would just see the rates of stabbings and bludgeoning attacks skyrocket.

If only they had guns.

I was gonna say that's quite a bit for one attacker, then I saw it was five of them, but then I saw the number of wounded, that's about 28 stabbings per attacker... crazy stuff there.

If only somebody there had a gun to stop them....
