This file photo taken on July 18, 2019, shows the scene after a fire at an animation studio in Kyoto.Japanese police on Wednesday arrested a suspect in the deadly arson at a Kyoto anime studio last year after he recovered enough from his own severe burns to respond to the police investigation.
Aoba is accused of storming into Kyoto Animation’s No. 1 studio on July 18 last year, setting it on fire and killing 36 people. The attack shocked Japan and drew an outpouring of grief from anime fans worldwide.Police, quoting witnesses to the attack, have alleged Aoba arrived carrying two containers of flammable liquid, entered the studio’s unlocked front door, dumped the liquid and set it afire with a lighter.
One of the survivors, an animator, told Japanese media he jumped from a window of the three-story building gasping for air amid scorching heat after seeing a “a black mushroom cloud” rising from downstairs. Aoba sustained severe burns on his face, torso and limbs, and was unconscious for weeks. He reportedly still cannot walk or feed himself without assistance.

Man dead, boy and woman wounded in ‘brazen’ downtown Toronto shooting: police‘The suspect vehicle made a U-turn and engaged in firing,’ the police chief said. The two males were targeted and the woman was an innocent bystander That can’t be right. Didn’t Trudeau ban guns in Canada? Dam hunters So this is shooting number two today, then? The other being in Scarborough. We're a bit behind 2019's numbers, but I'm sure the summer and relaxing of restrictions will help that along.

Four Minneapolis police officers fired after death of black manFour Minneapolis officers involved in the arrest of a black man who died in police custody were fired hours after a bystander's video provoked widespread outrage with footage that showed the man pleading that he could not breathe as a white officer knelt on his neck. They need to be brought up on charges. This is unacceptable. That doesn’t even cover it but can’t think of any other words to describe it. No human should treat another human that way. I usually side with the police in most cases. But not here. Not at all. Now arrest em all. Lock em up. And hopefully charged with Murder and accessory to Murder.
