At least four people have been injured in apparent shooting in Japan's Nakano city, nation's public broadcaster says
Police received a call in the late afternoon with reports that a “man stabbed a woman,” a Nakano City police official told CNN. When officers rushed to the scene, the man fired something resembling a hunting rifle, striking four people, before fleeing the scene and barricading himself in a building, he added. The woman was taken to hospital where she was subsequently pronounced dead.
The country has one of the lowest rates of gun crimes in the world due to its extremely strict gun control laws. In 2018, Japan, a country of 125 million people, only reported nine deaths from firearms – compared with 39,740 that year in the United States, according to data compiled by the Sydney School of Public Health at the University of Sydney. However, Japan was rocked by a shooting last year that reverberated around the world.
