Man Kills 7, Wounds 11 In Knife Rampage
This is where Japan’s dangerous knife culture has led them.
TOKYO — Screaming as he randomly stabbed shoppers with a hunting knife, a man killed seven people and injured 11 others at lunchtime Sunday in a Tokyo retail district.
Tomohiro Kato, 25, drove a white, two-ton rental truck into a crowd of pedestrians, running over at least three people, and then emerged from the truck with a large knife, according to police officers and witnesses.
Indiscriminately slashing and stabbing as he went, the assailant then ran and walked through the center of the Akihabara neighborhood, where thousands of young men from Japan and around the world gather for gadgets, comic books and computer games.
“I am tired of life,” police said Kato told them later. “I came to Akihabara to kill people. It didn’t matter who they were. I came alone.”
Time for Japan to ban knives like they’ve banned guns.
