At least nineteen people were murdered and another 20 injured during an attack yesterday (07-25) by one person at a facility for mentally handicapped adults in Sagamihara, Japan, just outside of Tokyo.
This got an extremely brief mention on broadcast media and a piece on A-14, below the fold, in most print outlets. Why the scant publicity you might well ask. It’s easy, the weapon used was a knife and not a gun, so nobody cares.
The suspect, Satoshi Uematus, 26, used to work at the facility. He turned himself in and has been charged with trespassing and murder.
It’s a good thing Uematus didn’t have a gun. Otherwise somebody might have gotten hurt.
