A man carrying a knife in each hand and screaming "I will kill you" attacked a group of schoolchildren waiting at a bus stop just outside Tokyo on Tuesday, wounding at least 19 people, including 13 children, Japanese authorities and media said.
The victims were lined up at a bus stop near Noborito Park in Kawasaki City when a man in his 40s or 50s attacked. NHK national television, quoting police, said that the suspect died after slashing himself in the neck. Police wouldn't immediately confirm the report or provide or other specific details.
It wasn't immediately clear how many others had died.

Suspect per above, killed himself by slashing his neck. I've heard of something like this. These events are rare over there but I think something like this has happened in China too, or someone attacking a bus stop when children are there or at the school. Very sad for the toddlers. I hope this isn't too bad.
That last sentence is a bit puzzling, so far, we have reports of wounded and then it says
"It wasn't immediately clear how many others had died", so maybe another attack earlier? They must be about a day ahead of us, something like that so this probably happened fairly early morning.
So far, one girl killed, RIP.
