SDF General Yasunori Morishita told reporters that the military has “suspended all live-fire and explosives training” because of the incident.

#japan #worldnews #gunviolence
My hearts and prayers go out to the families. How is that possible? Was he aiming for the three people? Seems like there is a lot more to the story.
Yeah the guy refers to him as an “assailant”, not sure if there’s a language barrier that has no other word for it but in the US you tend to not use that term for an accidental shooting.
People anywhere can go crazy.
This won’t happen if you ban guns
@Muutay no we are not war, china does not want war, they won’t do anything that will affect their economy.
Chinese are much smarter than Russians, there is nothing to gain in a war now. They might take Taiwan in the next 100 years when they have better tech.
The dragon is playing the long game.
Excellent idea to ban guns in military shooting range
I can tell that saying that you’re wrong will end with you calling me a fascist
@ContextCensored Typical fascist. Too scared to speak.
This is the dumbest thing I’ve read all day. Thanks for the laugh.
The US was just the beginning. These types of incidents will be happening all over the world soon.
Ahh so this is not just a US issue, shocker right?
Violence happens everywhere, but this is a military base during a live fire training… Not a school, a mall, a doctor’s office, the beach, a nightclub like I’m the US where civilians are subjected to violence literally anywhere.
no the US just makes sure they are the best at setting themselves on fire.
how much does it happen in the US opposed to Japan?
@Nick Christen well the murder rate in the US is 6.3 murders per 100,000 people while Japan’s is 0.3 murders per 100,000 people. They have the lowest murder rate on the entire planet.
@Michael H Numbers?…such Innocence and unawareness…a guy died from a car wreck but the death certificate says COVID-19….are you kidding me Numbers?…fool
*FMJ
Mental issues are rising in Asia too. Look at Korea, and Japan too. Work work untill you get mentally sick.
This what happens if you give a human a gun. Gun has no other uses but just to take another human lives.
@Fox63 True but what is the point of Army trainee without a gun lol
Yeah.
Whites ruined them with mental illnesses
He tested their self-defense strategies.. they failed.
What a wonderful world
Just ignore all the mass shootings and violent outbreaks and keep moving forward as if nothing has happened.
Lol allies of Americunts.
You push a human being too hard and he snaps. God knows China doesnt care how hard they push their citizens
FULL METAL JACKET!!
It’s a movie all recruits in any military should watch.
Wow….this is unprecedented and very sad
How is this unprecedented? This has happened many times throughout history
Chinese splinter cell
We need to ban people not guns
Keep making cars leave the military 🪖 to others
Wow.. that was crazy, I can’t believe it. It blows my mind how absolutely crazy that was. I’m definitely surprised
This is the result of trying to turn a snowflake into a soldier.
So not only just bad drivers i see 🧐🤔
FULL METAL JACKET ⁉️⁉️😡😵💫🤬 STOP BULLYING RECRUITS 🤯
pederast Japanese army honor betrayed
Full metal jacket!!
Unfortunately sometimes this is what comes with training soldiers, at least the flip out wasn’t actually in the field or on a mission. Condolences to the families that lost loved ones. ✌🏾
There are quite a few mentally ill people here in Japan. They’ve perfected the art of passive agression; this guy might have just seen an opportunity.
They weren’t like this until after the whites got scared by WW2
Why was he pointing his LOADED weapon towards people at all?
Ikr?
Its gotta bs a lie. Mika and Joe tell me it only happens here
In America that is just normal thing to happen! Mass killings are less than 10 deaths are not even get any news coverage.
