 TOKYO (AP) - Police stormed an apartment Saturday and seized a suspected gangster who had barricaded himself inside after a deadly shooting in the streets of a Tokyo suburb in violence officials said may signal infighting in the Japanese underworld.
The violence came days after the mayor of Nagasaki was gunned down by a reputed mobster in an unrelated killing. Crime syndicates are overwhelmingly responsible for Japan's rare gun attacks.
The events began Friday when the suspected gangster fatally shot another mobster from the same group on the street in a western suburb of the capital, said local police official Yukio Tonose.
