On the eve of National Day, a stabbing incident occurred at a supermarket in Shanghai, resulting in an official report of three deaths and 15 injuries. However, insiders indicate that the death toll may be as high as seven.

According to Shanghai netizens, the incident occurred at a Walmart in Songjiang District. One user, claiming to be a store employee, recounted seeing people running and blood on the floor, with the attacker hiding in the supermarket. She expressed fear, stating she locked up and ran away, calling it “a day of brushing past death.”

CCTV footage from inside the supermarket showed a man wielding a knife in each hand, displaying an angry demeanor as he moved through the store. Customers, upon seeing him, panicked and fled in different directions, followed by screams as multiple people were stabbed.

In videos uploaded by netizens, a man wearing a red shirt and jeans was seen lying on his back with an abdominal injury. Nearby, a woman was sitting at the escalator with a bloodied child in her arms, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers. Comments in the video's section suggested that a two-year-old had also been attacked and was currently under observation in the ICU.

On October 1, the Shanghai Songjiang police reported that at 9:47 PM on September 30, they received a call about a stabbing incident in a supermarket on Songhui Middle Road. The suspect, Lin (male, 37), was detained, and 18 injured individuals were taken to the hospital. Tragically, three of them died.

The police report did not provide further case details, only stating that the preliminary investigation showed the suspect, Lin, acted out of anger over personal financial disputes after coming to Shanghai.

The police report sparked dissatisfaction among netizens, with many questioning the lack of detail. Some expressed concerns about the suspect's background and the vague explanation of "economic disputes" leading to random violence. Others demanded more transparency regarding the victims, asking if they were customers or employees and whether there had been prior conflicts with the attacker. Many called for a comprehensive account of the incident's facts.

In the video comments section, some netizens mentioned "four deaths," while another insider claimed, “It’s seven. My friend’s neighbor said it was seven deaths.”

The incident sparked widespread anger online. Many netizens expressed their frustration, stating, "If life is hard and stressful, go after those responsible, not innocent people." Others echoed similar sentiments, saying, "Injustice should be directed at the right targets, not innocent victims," and "It's wrong to take out your suffering on innocent people, this goes against common decency."

Some netizens pointed out that social revenge incidents are increasing, stating, "With rising economic pressure, more people are emotionally breaking down, and it takes just a spark to ignite them." Others emphasized the growing severity of societal conflicts, adding that people should be extra cautious during times of economic crisis. There were also calls for systemic changes to prevent such tragedies from recurring.

Some netizens expressed disappointment over the lack of resistance during the attack, questioning why no one fought back. Comments like, "Have Chinese people lost the courage to resist? Are we just waiting to die in the face of slaughter?" reflect growing frustration with a perceived passivity in response to such violence.

Some netizens remarked that information about the Walmart stabbing incident had been censored, stating they couldn't find any related content after searching. One user shared their experience, explaining that they initially found many videos, but an hour later, none were searchable, not even a single word.
