Events of A Step Closer
Immediately in response to the Tokyo Metropolitan PD Shooting, members of the Special Assault Team were apart of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department initially attempted to handle the assault, but due to the overwhelming nature of the attackers and combination of reports from other officers, they instead focused on evacuating the building while serving as a line of defense until the majority of personnel were safely away from the assault. While no injuries were sustained during the evacuation, members of the Special Assault Team began to prepare for a counter assault at an off-site location with assistance from the JGSDF.

After a week of negeotiations and investigations, the Special Assault Team alongside supporting JGSDF units were given the go-ahead to retake the portions of the police department that were occupied by the suspected Yakuza members, sustaining multiple injuries but nonetheless were able to kill all twelve attackers.
