A Chinese man has attacked three people, two US tourists and a Chinese tour guide, leaving one of the Americans dead.
The man then killed himself, jumping to his death from the second storey of the Drum Tower, a popular tourist spot, after the incident, China's official Xinhua news agency reported on Saturday.
Xinhua did not give any motive for the attack.
The American killed in the attack was a relative of the US men's volleyball coach, the US Olympic committee said in a statement.
The injured man was also a family member.
"While at the Drum Tower in central Beijing, the two family members were stabbed during an attack by what local law enforcement authorities have indicated was a lone assailant.
"One of the family members was killed and the other seriously injured," the statement said.
Beijing has been quiet in the run-up to the Olympics, with security tight across the capital and thousands of security officials patrolling the streets and the games venues, but some small-scale protests have persisted.
Tibet protest
On Saturday, five foreign pro-Tibet activists held a protest in Beijing's Tiananmen Square, some draping themselves in Tibetan flags, according to a statement issued by two overseas Tibet rights groups.
"The Chinese government is seeking to cover up its ugly occupation of Tibet with the bright lights of the Olympics," Matt Whitticase, a spokesman for the group, said.
"Our action at Tiananmen Square today highlights the determination of Tibetans and people of conscience that no amount of repression from the Chinese government will extinguish the desire of Tibetans for freedom and to speak out against China's worsening abuses in Tibet."
The protesters - from the US, Germany and Canada - staged a "mock die-in" on the north side of the square.
Police detained them about 10 minutes into the demonstration, the group said.
