Tokyo Metropolitan PD Shooting

In the late evening of ██/██/████, 12 people of varying regional origins with ties to the nationwide Yakuza conducted an armed assault on the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Headquarters. The 12 people, identified by popular internet name, "Hit Squad" from social media sites due to their level of tactics, training, and preparation, were armed with assault-style semi-automatic weapons and body armor. The threat was grave and deadly enough to warrant a response by the Special Assault Team and the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force. Lasting nearly one entire week with negotiations achieving no results, the Special Assault Team with assistance from the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force ultimately ended the assault at ██:██. The motives, while still under investigation on both local and federal level, are completely unknown.

With the official death count at 31 and injured at 48, it is one of the deadliest mass shootings in Japan and ultimately led to what many claim to be the modernization and to the extreme, militarization of law enforcement across Japan.
