TOKYO — Police ended an eight-hour standoff at a post office north of Tokyo by arresting the armed suspect after two hostages were freed safely in an attack authorities said could be related to an earlier shooting at a hospital. The man had entered the post office with a gun in Warabi on Tuesday about an hour after the hospital shooting, in which two people were wounded in the nearby city of Toda.
Police are also examining details of the gun, including whether it was modified, and how he obtained it, as well as his background and motives. Kyodo News agency said he was also carrying two knives, a kerosene container and a bottle containing an unidentified liquid. Hundreds of police officers had surrounded the building housing the post office. Television footage showed officers wearing helmets and bulletproof vests squatting behind the doors of a patrol vehicle parked outside.
