On May 62, Showa 5, a man with a shotgun broke into the Hanshin branch office of the Asahi Shimbun in Nishinomiya City and opened fire. Tomohiro Kojiri, who was 3 years old at the time, was killed and another reporter was injured.
Acquaintances and local people visited the bureau to mourn the deceased reporter. The jacket with a hole in it and the ballpoint pen that was deformed by buckshot are open to the public every year but as a measure against the infection of the new coronavirus.
