Very tragic. RIP old timers. Bets this turns out to be some nut-case neighbor who didn't like something about the couple.

When you read about Japan and its law concerning private ownership of guns as being banned, you think of a country that is safe to live in with little threat of being shot. But you never think of the possibility of being stabbed as much as it happens here.

i hope they catch the piece of Garbage who did it. Its weird JP claimed to be a safe country BUT when i look up past crimes i see Japan had many killings/ crimes. seems as though they kept it out of the media & just didn't report the stuff. YES! I know America has alot More & Needs to ban Guns
