A court in Changde, Hunan Province, China, sentenced Huang Wen to death with a two-year reprieve for endangering public safety. The ruling, issued on December 23, 2024, follows an incident on November 19, 2024, when Huang deliberately drove his car into a crowd near a primary school, injuring 30 people, including 18 elementary school children. After the initial collision, he exited the vehicle and attacked others with a weapon, exacerbating the chaos. The court's decision also stripped Huang of his political rights for life, reflecting the severity of the crime, which was motivated by personal grievances, including investment losses and family disputes.
