The mayor of Shimokitaro, a small town in central Japan, is on his way to work when he is interrupted by the sound of gunshots. He asks the people of the town to stay home and not go out after sunset. He tells them that the suspect in last night's random shooting has been captured and is being held in jail for two years for injuring thirteen people during a shooting rampage. The mayor tells the people that he is a doctor and that he will examine them as they walk through the town.
