A knife-wielding man attacked students and parents at the gates of a Shanghai school on Wednesday, China Central Television reported.
Authorities reportedly said the assailant went on the rampage after killing two women in a home nearby.
Police were called to Jinhui Primary School in the suburban Fengxian district at about 5 pm, CCTV said.
Xinhua News Agency reported that 11 people were wounded, including six children. None of the injuries were thought to be life-threatening.
A suspect, identified only as Zang, was detained at the scene, according to a police statement released at 7 pm.
