Murderer on the Loose

There was apparently a violent stabbing near Hiraoka (east Kakogawa, near my school) around 6am this morning. It sounds like the victim is still alive (maybe at a hospital in Befu?), but the perpetrator got away.

One of my coworkers just gave an announcement to our staff seating section (gakunen) saying that the murderer is on the loose on the area and that we should try to avoid being outside alone this evening. 

Hmm.  Still think I am going to run, but that is slightly concerning...
