Four people were injured as a migrant worker at the Pundong
airport hurled an explosive device at a check-in counter before
attempting suicide.
The man who was later identified as Zhou Xingbai, a migrant worker
with gambling debts threw the explosive device which was packaged in a
beer bottle he brought out from a bag at a check-in counter. When the
device exploded, he brought out a knife and slashed his neck open,
collapsing on the floor.
Zhou is a 29 year old, originally from Guizhou, and according to
the police, he took several buses to arrive at the airport on sunday.
From investigation, it was discovered that Zhou filled the bottle with
explosive gun powder, the type used in fireworks. He is currently in a
critical condition while four people who got injuries from being hit
by pieces of the bottle are being treated at a hospital.
Zhou has a bad gambling history from a habit he developed after
graduating from high school. Before the incident he had lost all his
savings and was only surviving on money borrowed from friends.
CNN reports that before he committed the crime, he posted on his
wechat account that he was so much in debt that he was soon going to
do something so dangerous that he could lose his life.
