Around 3:30 am on the 22nd, a police officer who rushed to Toyama City after receiving a report fired a pistol at a man who brought a knife, and the man was shot in the chest and died at the hospital where he was transported. ..

Police said that "the use of pistols was a proper job execution."

Around 3:30 am on the 22nd, a resident of Iino, Toyama City, reported to the police that a woman in the neighborhood asked me to report because my son was rampaging.



According to the police, when two police officers rushed to the scene, an unemployed Yuji Koda (38) stood with a kitchen knife on the street outside the house and said to them, "Let's stab it." It means that we are heading.



A male police officer in his 60s warned that he should throw away his kitchen knife, but as he headed further, he fired a pistol and hit his chest, killing Koda at the hospital he was transferred to. ..



It seems that Koda lived with his parents at home, and according to the police, there was a 110th call from his home just before the call from the neighbor, but the police said that it was cut off immediately at that time. I am investigating the detailed situation.



Takeshi Okumura, Deputy Chief of the Toyama Chuo Police Station, commented, "The use of a pistol was a proper execution of duties. I am very sorry that the suspect died and I pray for his soul."
