Japanese police are searching for a Korean gunman suspected of seriously injuring two men at a members-only gambling venue in Osaka's Minami entertainment district on Monday evening.
Police put Shinichi Kyo, 34, on a wanted list for attempted murder and violating the firearms control law, after he allegedly shot two men ― a venue employee, 42, and a customer, 32 ― at the casino-style online gambling hub, according to
.
Investigators believe Kyo tried to kill the two, given that he shot them as soon as he walked into the facility.
Kyo, a regular customer, shot the employee in the head and the customer in the chest, police said. They said Kyo left behind a revolver when he fled.
Police were trying to determine whether the suspect knew the victims.
The customer was in a coma, but regained consciousness; the worker was still unconscious.
