I don’t know how this happened:
A man reportedly involved in a pay dispute set off an explosion Tuesday that killed himself, a hostage and a police officer in an office building in western Japan. Twenty-three people in the city of Nagoya were injured in the blast, which blew out a row of windows and started a fire that burned for more than an hour in a violent climax to a three-hour standoff televised by national media…
Armed with a knife, he burst into the parcel delivery company, took eight employees hostage and doused the floor with an unidentified liquid, said Makoto Furuta, a state police spokesman. People evacuating the building said they smelled gasoline.
It just doesn’t make sense- Japan has super strict gun control laws.
