Following a mass murder by a lone intruder at a care facility for disabled people in Japan, employees at similar facilities expressed concerns about their security, according to an article on the Japan Times website.
The attacker was reportedly a former employee at the facility, so he would be aware of its layout and security procedures.
"I did not expect something like this to happen,” the director of a care facility in Tokyo said. “We don’t have a special security guard, and our staff at night is usually shorthanded. They were usually busy handling a heavy workload at night.”
“If he broke into the building by breaking a window, I believe it was impossible to stop the incident.”
