A serious shooting incident occurred in a US university, involving a former member of the Army National Guard. The unfortunate episode led to casualties, with three people reported dead or injured. The identity of the gunman, the motive behind the incident and the circumstances surrounding the case remain under investigation. This event highlights the ongoing issue of public safety, particularly in educational institutions, where people should rightfully feel secure.

In Japan, gun-related violence is extremely rare due to stringent gun control laws and public safety values. News of incidents involving guns, especially in educational institutions, is met with shock, concern and discussions about ways to ensure public safety.

Compared to the US or EU, both of which have seen tragic gun-related incidents in educational facilities causing tremendous societal impact, an incident of this nature appears to be less common in Japan. The frequency of such cases in the US or EU amplifies concerns about gun control laws and public safety measures.
