One student was killed and 25 others were injured in a school stampede
Thursday in Lijiahe Township Primary and Middle School of Xuan'en County,
central China's Hubei Province, said local sources.
The stampede took place at 3:40 p.m. on Wednesday when some of the students
who were walking in the front of a people flow for leaving the teaching building
on completion of the classes of the day suddenly fell down, causing the students
walking behind also losing balance.
The dead student is identified as Zheng Longyun, 10, a fifth grader. All the
injured, who range from second to sixth graders, have been hospitalized.
The tragedy is under further investigation.
Xuan'en County falls under
jurisdiction of Tujia-Miao Autonomous Prefecture of Enshi, a mountainous region
in southwestern Hubei Province.
