Beijing - Five people died on Sunday after a dispute at a video-game centre in south-western China escalated into a pitched battle involving at least 20 people, some armed with knives and batons, state media said on Monday.
Several youths got into an argument with the manager of the Milky Way Express games centre in the Nanping district of Chongqing city late Sunday evening, the official Xinhua news agency quoted city police as saying.
More than 20 other people later joined the fight, which ended with five people dead and at least two injured, the agency said.
Police were investigating the violence and had not released the identities of those killed.
Most of the people involved were young men aged around 20 years old, the agency said.
Chongqing police on Monday ordered public security inspections of all internet bars and video-game centres after the incident, it said.

Are you serious? This was clearly an Alliance vs Horde battle,FOR THE HORDE!
Why didn't one of the store owners right-click and summon a security guard? Oh well, what's five of 3 billion?
above are the funniest comments i have ever heard...
firstly, it was the security guards that were fighting with the customers.and 4 of them died. and you said why not press the security button to call the security guards...
secondly, i'am sorry there are only 1.3 billion not 3 billion Chinese...and if you think 5 are not too much, i guess those who died in the 9.11 attack won't make a large difference on your American population.....
Funny and ignorant Americans....
5 people dying in a fight is alot different then a terrorist attack
