Xia also cited a posting which appeared under the Jiangsu City Forum Column at www.xici.net on April 18, warning of a shooting spree in a middle school in Suzhou city, where the death toll would exceed that of Virginia Tech shootings in the United States two days earlier.
Jiangsu Provincial Public Security Department and Suzhou City Public Security Bureau began an immediate investigation. Within hours, they had arrested the writer surnamed Xu in a home in the Canlang District of Suzhou.
During interrogation, unemployed Xu, 27, said he had worked as an English teacher at the school where he fell out with the school authorities. He suspected the teaching staff were colluding in forcing him out of his job.
Xu showed remorse during his detention, said Xia.
Jiangsu provincial public security organizations are to launch an icon on major local online forums for users to report illegal postings to the police.
