Cliff Notes:
Guy rents truck from Shizuoka (about a 4-5 hour drive) he drives to Akihabara, rams his truck into pedestrians and then gets out to start stabbing anyone while walking towards JR Akihabara Train Station.
7 people dead, 11 more injured. Guy was captured shortly after all this happened. Says he was tired of the world... :arg:
Absolutely Retarded.
