TOKYO A gunfight that broke out after a group of armed men burst into the office of a right-wing organization in central Tokyo on Monday left two people dead and six wounded, several of them seriously. Kyodo News Agency said investigators believe the shootout arose from a dispute between factions of the group. The attackers, armed with knives, were met by gunfire from the occupants of the office, which domestic Japanese news agencies said belonged to a right-wing organization.
A fire department spokesman said two of the injured died shortly after being taken to hospital. (Reuter)
