Admin’s Note

This incident is extremely shocking, and I can’t help but be surprised that such violent troubles can occur even in urban areas. It’s a good thing that the police were able to intervene early thanks to reports from nearby residents, but we need to think about whether such incidents can be prevented as a society. To protect the safety of our community, sharing information and implementing crime prevention measures are crucial. Especially for creating an environment where young children can feel safe, we adults must actively engage in these efforts.
