Some sick fuck used gasoline to light the Kyoto Animation studio on fire, killing some and injuring many.
How any human person could do something so horrific is beyond me.

The suspect of the incident has been detained, however, he was rushed to the hospital due to the injuries he had incurred. Shinzo Abe, who is the current Prime Minister of Japan, described the event as too appalling for words!! He offered his condolence to the families who have been affected by the incident.
The three-storey high building started blazing with fire at around 10:30 if the local time is considered. The set-fire had such devastating power that the rescue operation is still not completely over. According to the reports of local media, knives have been found at the scene.
