Toyama elementary school reopens amid tight security after attack threat

The accused is hospitalized yet the school is still being protected by police and teachers are locking doors?

The headline in the story seems to suggest that a threat is still imminent-very misleading.......

They have received emails, threatening another attack... probably just another sick whacko. Better to be safe than sorry.

Maybe is not as safe as they claim it is. There seems to be no end of nutters.

Not sure why Japan has laws. The penalties for breaking said laws is so minimal, there are no real consequences of breaking them.

Must be stressful for parents!

How can you send your kid someplace in peace if their was violent attacks and deaths one weekand then threats afterwards.

Again you blame a whole nation.

You think Japan goes easy on crime? You gotta read and educate yourself before making blanket statements.

Two police officers are to be stationed in the school compound through Wednesday to ensure safety.

I love it in japan how EVERY little detail must be agonized and announced (unless it will lose face for you). Even the details that tell potential crooks when the Police won't be there any longer... Real smart.

"All the classrooms along the corridor were moved elsewhere" I was a bit confused when I first read this, I think they writer meant to say the children were moved to other class rooms else where, I am glad to see that they have sent some professional councillors to help out, rather than ignoring the potential problems with mental health issues latter on.

Brian Wheway, I thought the same thing too but pondered that maybe the classrooms along the corridor were temporary or movable. But as you said it's probably the children were moved to difference classrooms located elsewhere.
