Min stabbed the elderly woman with a kitchen knife in the house...
Then rushed to the school, and allegedly stabbed 23 primary school students, whose ages are not known, before being subdued by teachers and police.
None were killed, but the injuries were severe.
Initial investigations found Min - a long-term epilepsy sufferer - to be mentally unwell, and reportedly, severely psychologically affected by a prophecy predicting the end of the world.
But scientists say the rumors are a misinterpretation of the ancient Maya calendar, and the sun will still rise on December 21st.
