A police recruit in Nagareyama, Chiba Prefecture, is in a coma after he apparently attempted to commit suicide by shooting himself in the head at a police station, authorities said Monday.
Police say the 19-year-old man graduated from police training academy last month and was assigned to Minami-Nagareyama Ekimae police station, where the incident took place on Sunday afternoon at around 1:15, TBS reported. Aside from the officer in question, the only other people present in the station at the time of the incident are believed to have been a 30-year-old police sergeant and a counselor who discovered the man.
