In Japan, a knife-wielding man killed 19 people and wounded at least a
dozen near Tokyo on Tuesday. Japanese police say the attack took place
in the city of Sagamihara at a facility for people with mental
disabilities. The man appeared to have been a former employee of the
facility, and the victims were all patients there. The suspected
attacker turned himself in at a local police station and was charged
with murder. Police have not yet offered a possible motive for the
attack.
