Seventeen more people, mainly young children, were injured, according to authorities who had previously given the schoolgirl's age as 12. "It's hard to describe what it was like, how it sounded. It wasn't girls having fun, it was a sound that was absolutely not normal," he told AFP. Emergency workers set up an orange medical tent to treat the wounded, and ambulances and fire engines were parked nearby.
The bloodshed came as Donald Trump wrapped up a state visit to Japan, and the US president offered his"prayers and sympathy" to the victims as he met troops outside Tokyo.
