Knife-wielding man kills 2 in attack on schoolchildren

KAWASAKI, Japan - A man carrying a knife in each hand and screaming "I will kill you!" attacked a group of schoolgirls and adults near a bus stop just outside Tokyo on Tuesday, killing two and injuring 17 before killing himself.

Most of the victims were schoolgirls who were lined up at a bus stop near Noborito Park in the city of Kawasaki when a man in his 50s began slashing them with knives. City officials, quoting police, said that the suspect was captured but died from a self-inflicted cut to the neck.

Police wouldn't immediately confirm specifics about the attacker.
