Saw where it was in Nonhyeon-dong. Haven't seen it on the news yet. Funny you can get a story like this from foreign news sources, but it's not even a headline on the Korea Times or Herald pages. It's tucked away under the National section on the Herald. Confused Terrible.

Yeah, I turned on the TV and haven't seen anything on it. Strange for it not to be reported on, especially by the newspapers. The Korea Times has it under more pressing headlines like

What, Korea focusing on image? I just checked the photos from the link and was a bit impressed with the arsenal he had (if it was all his). If he was that down on his luck, you would think he could have sold one of his three handguns Neutral Or better yet, why resort to stabbing if he had that much firepower (I know, sounds awful, but...) Very strange.

I read on The Marmot's hole that it was 4 dead, six stabbed. Is it six dead now?

It was the first item on the main news tonight. MBC and KBS.

Let's just wait for the revelations about the goshiwon's lack of fire standards.........
