1. Various of people laying flowers and candles at site of car attack
STORYLINE:
People laid floral tributes and lit candles in a southern Chinese city on Tuesday where a man who authorities said was upset over his divorce settlement rammed his car into a crowd of people exercising at a sports complex, killing 35 and severely injuring dozens of others.
Police detained the 62-year-old man, who is being treated for wounds thought to be self-inflicted, shortly after the attack Monday night in Zhuhai.
The city is hosting the People’s Liberation Army’s annual aviation exhibition, which opened Tuesday, and searches for what happened were heavily censored for users behind China’s Great Firewall.
Police identified the man detained in Monday’s attack only by his family name of Fan, as is typical, and said he was unconscious and receiving medical care after being found in his car with a knife and wounded.
He was dissatisfied with the split of financial assets in his divorce, according to a preliminary investigation, police said.
Chinese authorities appeared to be tightly controlling information about the incident.
Internet censors tend to take extra care to scrub social media ahead of and during major events, such as the aviation exhibition or the annual meeting of the National People’s Congress.
