A former gangster who shot and killed a member of the Special Assault Team and injured a police officer, plus his own son and daughter, during a 29-hour hostage stand-off at his home in Aichi Prefecture, central Japan, surrendered to police in the evening on May 18th.
This incident occurred near my second daughter's apartment. It was three km away from her. I was so afraid that this incident might influence her life because two universities and two compulsory schools for kids are closed and many inhabitants were prohibited from going out for two days around the scene, but that concern luckily proved unfounded.
I had free air tickets presented by ANA (All Nippon Airways) at that time. The next moment I found myself making a reservation for a flight to Nagoya, my second daughter's city .
I'm going to leave for Nagoya this afternoon.
