From Caijing Magazine:
Workers at a Hangzhou instrument gauge factory in eastern China’s Zhejiang Province remember Tang Yongming as an ordinary colleague who liked to joke and play cards at a local tea house.
Tang could be talkative, opinionated and moody, his former workmates told Caijing. But none thought he could kill in cold blood.
Police, however, have identified 47-year-old Tang as the knife-wielding man who shattered the peace of the Beijing Olympics’ first day by attacking an American couple and their Chinese tour guide before killing himself. The U.S. Embassy in Beijing said the couple’s adult daughter was also at the scene but escaped injury.
The husband, however, didn’t escape Tang’s blade and died at the Drum Tower tourist site near central Beijing. U.S. news agencies identified the man as the father-in-law of the coach of the U.S. men’s volleyball team. The wounded wife and tour guide are expected to recover.
