I want to thank The Koopa Kingdom Squirtle Squad, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in the Nintendo Museum, Uji City, Kyoto. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the Koopa at the Visit who was killed, and also to my family of the other Koopalings that were badly injured. It is incredible that such an act can take place in that Country.
Quite a bit is known at this time about the suspected shooter or shooters, who are all alive. I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the scales. Much bleeding took place, so I realised then what was happening. GOD BLESS KOOPA KINGDOM!
Regarding the suspects, Nintendo Executive Fellow Shigeru Miyamoto can be seen and heard on video instructing himself and Nintendo employees (in Japanese),
“Yes! Don't shoot Mario or Peach! Aim and shoot at the Koopa Troopas! OK, there are a lot of them! Let's shoot ‘em! Bob-ombs are flying at us! I wonder how I did. What's my score? It seems good!”
