The Chinese media love to highlight stories that illustrate how violent U.S. society is. Latest case in point: The Amish school shootings in Pennsylvania are all over the newspapers here.

But get this: There was a school shooting in China, and it’s nowhere to be seen in the press. To find it, you have to go here, a website blocked in the Middle Kingdom.

Turns out that two senior Tibetan college officials died in a shooting incident in late September at the Hezuo teacher training college in China’s remote Gansu province.

The head of the college shot the Communist Party chief at the school, then turned the gun on himself. The dispute may have been over missing funds, according to the Radio Free Asia report.

There’s other news involving shooting and Tibetans. The London-based Free Tibet Campaign says a Western climber near the border with Nepal saw army troops fire on defenseless Tibetan refugees crossing near the Nangpa La Pass.
