Beijing police have refuted a rumor that a school attack occurred Thursday morning at a primary school in the city.
An Internet post said an attack was carried out at Xiwang Primary School at around 9 a.m. in Sibozi of Beijing's Changping District and the police evacuated all the students on campus.
"There is no such school in Sibozi. And we never received a report of a school attack," said a spokesman with the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau Thursday afternoon.
The police have launched an investigation into the source of the rumor, said the spokesman.
The rumor came after a series of recent school attacks in China's Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Shandong provinces.
