Three people are confirmed dead, including an 11-year-old girl, from a mass stabbing that left 17 schoolchildren injured Tuesday in Kawasaki, Japan, a suburb southwest of Tokyo.

Ryuichi Iwasaki, 51, attacked the children with two knives as they waited to board a school bus to Caritas, a Catholic school, around 7:45 a.m., the New York Times is reporting.

Witnesses said the attacker yelled “I’m going to kill you!” before he began to stab the children. Three injuries were reported as serious, according to the Associated Press. Other medical details have not yet been made public.

Among the dead are a sixth-grader named Hanako Kuribayashi, 11, and Satoshi Oyama, 39, the parent of another student. After the attack, the suspect reportedly stabbed himself in the neck, dying from his injuries shortly afterward.

Are there a lot of Catholics in Japan?

Japan is about 1% Christian and 1/3rd of that 1% are Catholic. However, there are a lot more Catholic run schools which welcome people of all faiths. My daughter attended one.

Has The Left blamed President Trump for this, yet, since President Trump was, just, in Japan?

Are there a lot of Catholics in Japan?

St Francis Xavier brought the Faith to Japan, he had some success, enough to worry the reigning powers. They brutally repressed Catholics but a few survived, they were found around 1873 still practicing what they had been taught. The Jesuit church in Nagasaki survived the bomb as did the priests. They are a tiny minority today.

Causing trouble is not viewed well in Japan.
