17 people were killed in an apparently spontaneous mass murder rampage in August 2010 in Yuanshi County, Hebei, China, by an intoxicated man driving a bucket loader.

[1][2] The rampage began when a coal worker, who had been drinking[3] and had a blood alcohol content of 154 milligrams per 100 millilitres,[4] had an argument.

[3] A later report said that the first person killed was the murderer's boss, with whom he had been arguing about money.

A passersby jumped onto the tractor, and one stabbed the driver in an attempt to stop the attack.

[8] As a result, 550 new mental health clinics were opened and security was increased outside primary schools and nurseries all over China.
