Police in Japan believe a 51-year-old man went on a stabbing spree early Tuesday morning in Kawasaki, less than 20 miles from Tokyo, near an elementary school, killing an 11-year-old girl and a 39-year-old man.
Japanese media are reporting that another 16 people were injured in the attack and being treated in a local hospital. Three of those – described as “a woman in her 40s and two elementary school girls” by the Japanese newspaper Mainichi Shimbun – are reportedly in grave condition.
Authorities have not revealed any motive for the attack or the identity of the man they believe is responsible, though they have confirmed to local media that the prime suspect stabbed himself in the neck as police attempted to detain him. Broadcaster NHK reported that the man appeared to be in his 40s or 50s but provided no further details.

First the Easter Sunday attack in Sri Lanka. Now this attack on young Catholic school girls.
(running out of air holding my breath).
It is unusual for the Japanese police to keep the identity of the suspect a secret, especially since he is in custody, which tells me there is more than meets the eye here. Asao ward is in the northern part of Kawasaki; I don’t know of any particular Muslim population there, but that doesn’t mean anything in itself.
This is another stab in the effort to grab our guns. Knifes are an automatic weapon that never needs a reload or a silencer.
Semi-automatic weapon. One thrust, one stab. But true that never needs a reload.
I wonder if he used a Ginsu.
Automatic weapon if it’s John Wick with a sword (I know it’s fantasy)! (:|>
“Asao ward is in the northern part of Kawasaki; I don’t know of any particular Muslim population there, but that doesn’t mean anything in itself.”
I lived in Asao ward before I got married in 1987 . Never saw a Muslim there back then but you can sure there are some living there now .
Too bad assassins no longer honor the motto "No women, no children" when killing targets. Although John Wick shot the woman after allowing her to cut herself to die. Just hate the thought of children getting sliced by cowards.
