OSAKA - A knife-wielding man died after a police sergeant shot him in the chest on a street in Kawachinagano, Osaka Prefecture, after he continued advancing toward five officers despite repeated warnings and a warning shot fired into the air. When the man continued moving toward the officers without responding, a male police sergeant fired one warning shot into the air. After officers arrived, the man approached them while pointing what appeared to be a knife in their direction. Sasaki said the Osaka shooting also appeared justified because the man was carrying a knife, appeared highly agitated and ignored both verbal warnings and the warning shot. "He did not obey the warnings and did not respond even after a warning shot was fired," Sasaki said.
