Knife attack kills 15 in Japan

A knife-wielding attacker killed at least 15 people today and injured more at a facility for the handicapped in Sagamihara, Japan, just outside Tokyo. Japan’s national broadcaster NHK reported the suspect, a 26-year-old former employee of the facility, turned himself in. Television footage showed a number of ambulances parked outside the facility, with medics and other rescuers going in and out. Police have not yet commented on the motive for the attack.
