TOKYO — A man screaming “You die!” burst into an animation production studio in Kyoto and set it on fire early Thursday, killing one person, leaving 12 others presumed dead and a dozen possibly trapped inside.The fire broke out in the three-story Kyoto Animation building in Japan’s ancient capital of Kyoto, after the suspect sprayed an unidentified liquid to accelerate the blaze, Kyoto prefectural police and fire department officials said.

Survivors who saw the attacker said he was not their colleague and that he was screaming ” die!” when he dumped the liquid and started the fire, according to Japanese media reports. “There was an explosion, then I heard people shouting, some asking for help,” a female witness told TBS TV. “Black smoke was rising from windows on upper floors, then there was a man struggling to crawl out of the window.”

Rescue officials set up an orange tent outside the studio building to provide first aid and sort out the injured.
