On August 9, 2008 in the People's Republic of China, two American tourists and their Chinese tour guide were stabbed at the historic Beijing Drum Tower; one of the tourists was killed.[1][2][3] The assailant then committed suicide by jumping from the tower. The incident occurred during the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. The incident has been described as isolated since attacks on foreigners while visiting China are rare.[4]

Events and victims

Three people were stabbed in Beijing, China, on August 9, 2008, by 47-year-old Tang Yongming of Hangzhou, while visiting the 13th-century Drum Tower in Beijing during the 2008 Summer Olympics.[5] The victims were Todd Bachman, a prominent horticulturalist from Lakeville, Minnesota,[5] his wife Barbara, and their female Chinese national tour guide. Todd Bachman, who died in the attack, was the father of American athlete Elisabeth Bachman and the father-in-law of Team USA men's volleyball coach Hugh McCutcheon.[6] Barbara Bachman was severely wounded but survived the attack.[7] The female Chinese tour guide was listed in stable condition at the Chinese hospital, as was Mrs. Bachman.[8] One of the Bachmans' daughters, Elisabeth Bachman McCutcheon, was also on the tour but was uninjured. The attacker then leaped to his death from a {{convert|40|m|ft|adj=on}} high balcony on the Drum Tower. US Olympic Committee Chairman Peter Ueberroth and US President George W. Bush each offered his condolences.[9]

Perpetrator

Tang Yongming spent most of his life in the outskirts of Hangzhou, and was a metal presser at the Hangzhou Meter Factory for more than twenty years. He had no previous criminal record, according to investigators.[10][11] Investigators reported that Tang was distraught over family problems.[12] A colleague who knew Tang said that he had "an unyielding mouth", "grumbled a great deal", and was "very cynical".[11] Another former co-worker said Tang 'had a quick temper and was always complaining about society".[11] Police report that Tang went through his second divorce in 2006 and grew increasingly despondent when his 21-year-old son started getting into trouble. The son was detained in May 2007 on suspicion of fraud, then received a suspended prison sentence in March 2008 for theft.[12]
