TOKYO (AP) - A 17-year-old boy armed with a knife burst into a public elementary school in western Japan on Monday, stabbing one teacher to death and
slashing two other adults, police said.
A 52-year-old male teacher was declared dead after the assault while a 57-year-old female teacher was seriously injured with knife wounds in her
stomach, police said. The nutritionist, 45, was also being treated for injuries.
Kyodo News reported the attacker, 17, had graduated from the elementary school, but police were unable to confirm that report because he was refusing
to talk, Noda said.

The increase in young children killing other students must be a problem within either the home, or, the school children who tease , are cruel,
laugh, and make fun of others, who are not popular. Children who often poke fun, or, are not with the 'in' crowd often feel left out and feel alone.
This boy may not have experienced any of those things, but, there is a reason as to why he did this.
He obviously had a plan,stabbing 3 adults,killing one of them, a 52 year old teacher, and ... knowing how to enter the school all conclude there had
