dunno if this gets its own thread cuz #noguns but looks like he targeted a group of disabled people and turned himself in?

A knife attack in the Japanese city of Sagamihara has left at least 15 people dead and 45 wounded, according to the country’s national broadcaster NHK.

The incident reportedly took place in a facility for people with disabilities, and authorities were alerted to the attack just after 2:30am local time, police told NHK. A young man was arrested after turning himself into police following the attack, the broadcaster reported.

Good job Japan. Nice to see them doing their part to meet the first world quota for mentally unhinged people going on killing sprees.

Did I really need to specify "knife attack by lone wolf" you twat? The first two results were done by large groups of people in coordinated attacks, and still only got around double the bodies.

He was aiming for 470. He thought disabled people who can't stay with family or work should be euthanized.

In February, Uematsu took a letter to the speaker of the House of Representatives in which he threatened to carry out the attack.

"I will carry out a massacre without harming the staff," Uematsu wrote in the letter, according to Kyodo News, which published a photo of the letter. "I will kill 470 disabled people. My goal is to euthanize, with their guardians' consent, seriously disabled people if they can't live at home or be active in society," he wrote, referring to the center by name. "I will carry it out at night time, when there are fewer staff on duty," he wrote.

NHK, the public broadcaster, added that Uematsu had also told his colleagues in February that seriously disabled people had no use for life and should be euthanized, leading them to call the police.

Five days after he delivered the letter, Uematsu finished working at the care facility. He was investigated by police for making the threats and sent to a hospital for an emergency evaluation for delusional behavior, local media reported, citing police officials.

He was apparently allowed to go home to his house at the bottom of a dead-end road here, overlooking lush green fields.
