[1][2][3] The incident lasted for 29 hours and resulted in the death of a SAT member of the Aichi Prefectural Police in the line of duty, as well as injuries to another officer, Obayashi's ex-wife, and children.
Soon after Kimoto was shot, ten officers from the local Aichi Police Station [ja] arrived in three vehicles.
At around 4:45PM, while a detective was trying to talk to Obayashi, Mobile Investigation Unit [ja] members arrived at the scene.
Three of the nine officers would support the rescue party from close by while hiding behind a special armored vehicle that slowly drove by the scene.
One of the shots hit a SAT member named Kazuho Hayashi (aged 23) in the left shoulder.
The bullet shot through Hayashi's lower left shoulder near the neck and punctured his ascending aorta.
According to later reports, the SAT was not notified of the dog and was ordered to shoot back if the suspect opened fire and visual contact was established.
After the hostage managed to escape, Obayashi's attitude gradually softened, and after negotiation with the police, he promised to exit his home at 7:20 PM.
The local commander gave orders to reevaluate the SIT's breach training, and were planning to make their entrance by 10PM.
[注釈 1] After 8:30PM, Obayashi complied to the police's urging of a safe apprehension, and was arrested on charge of murder by officers that descended on him.
Obayashi used a .38 caliber Ruby Extra revolver, and when the police confiscated the weapon, it was loaded with six shots, and an additional eight unused rounds and ten cartridges were found in the scene.
Hayashi was posthumously promoted two ranks and was awarded a police medal by Iwao Uruma, the commissioner general of the NPA, and also the Order of the Rising Sun by the Japanese Government.
[12] Trials to this case started at the Nagoya District Court on October 7, 2008,[13] and Obayashi was sentenced to life imprisonment on December 17.
