BEIJING--China has detained six people after a stampede at a primary school saw four children die in an incident in which they were crushed against a locked gate, a local official told AFP Thursday.

The six — including the school principal — were among 12 people being investigated for the accident in Laohekou, in the central province of Hubei, a city official said.

The stampede happened at 6 a.m. Wednesday when large numbers of pupils left their school dormitory, on the fourth floor, and attempted to exit the block. The ground floor gate was closed, resulting in the crush.
