Plainclothes terrorists at holy site, charity distributor - Suspected Blood Dragon involvement

New Tokyo, 12.03.836 Coordinated stabbing, shooting, bombing leaves 3 dead, 14 wounded, 1 critical condition In the early hours of this Wednesday, simultaneous attacks on a purification and exorcism shrine and a community outreach and charity center, both owned by the Katsuherabo family, a prominent branch of the Kazu shrine family, left three dead and fourteen wounded, including ten individuals partaking in a cleansing ceremony, and one in critical condition. The incident began at 0600 when three suspects approached the Fujiyoshida Island branch of the Kazu Community Outreach Center concealing bladed weapons and firearms. Security officers from Owari Securities, also a known branch of the Kazu family and commonly found providing their services to Kazu family properties and events, moved to confront the suspects after identifying behavioral and body-language tells of dangerous individuals. What followed was a grueling battle between the three terrorists and the four Owari Securities officers on site, resulting in the wounding of one officer and the death of a second caught in the initial surprise attack, as well as the assassination of their suspected target, Katsuherabo Junpei, the administrator of that community outreach center. Roughly thirty minutes after the attack at the community outreach center began, seven assailants forced their way through the gates of Fujiyoshida Shrine and into the inner cloister, armed with blades and firearms. Owari Securities officers forced a stalemate with the attackers while attendees and clergy were evacuated from the outer areas of the shrine, and the inner structure was fortified and locked down. At roughly 0717, after the last attacker at the community outreach center was slain, one of the assailants at the Fujiyoshida shrine revealed a bomb vest and sprinted towards the fortified inner building. The attacker was shot dead by Owari Securities officers; however, the bomb vest still detonated, killing all of the assailants and collapsing a significant portion of the shrine from both the blast and the ensuing fire. The currently reported casualties are Katsuherabo Junpei and two security officers who the Owari family has requested remain unidentified dead; ten shrinegoers, three security officers, and Katsuherabo Taketa with light to moderate wounds, and the young Katsuherabo Shinobu in critical condition in an undisclosed New Tokyo hospital. The suspected targets of this attack were Katsuherabo Junpei, a regional administrator of the Community Outreach Centers, Katsuherabo Taketa, current head of the Katsuherabo family, and the six-years-old Katsuherabo Shinobu, heir-apparent of the Katsuherabo family. Katsuherabo family representatives refused to comment, citing respect for the family's head being heavily preoccupied with his daughter's struggle for life in the hospital. Owari family representative Owari Karen said quote: "The Owari family has learned from our shortcomings in this attack. The Ogasawara and Katsuherabo families often insist on lax safety measures for the comfort of those receiving charity. Those receiving charity have shown us today our thanks for lax safety measures. This will not repeat." When asked about what measures the Owari family would take to ensure said safety, the representative declined to comment. The Minister of Internal Affairs and Justice and current head of the Kazu family, Kazu Kumano, also commented on the attack later that day. "It is a sad but unavoidable truth: When a light shines, there will be those who desire to block it, and when they block it, they create shadows. The brighter the light, the darker those shadows become. Hanazono desires to bring prosperity, security, and a Golden Age free of those corruptions that sink children and the weak into honorless debauchery and filth, and the filthy, the debaucherous, and the allies and proponents of those corruptions have risen up to strike at us. The perpetrators of this attack and their supporters despise you, my home. They will stop at nothing until you join them wallowing in Cardamine filth, following guides even blinder than they are, and being struck and abused by your fellow countrymen just as they do this very day. We MUST bring an end to the ideals that lead people to commit these atrocities. We MUST bring an end to the influx of unclean substances, those foreign drugs that destroy morals. We MUST be united as a people against everything that would undermine us, because if we are not, we will be destroyed. THEY come for you, and for your families, and for your daughters, and for your nieces and nephews just as they came for mine. Do not let them! Stand up and resist them!" With investigations ongoing and the Hanazono party rallied in the face of an extremist threat, New Tokyo Times will keep you informed with updates. Yours truly, Kirigaya Ito, NTT
