A backup team has been dispatched to Toyokoma City to track down a gang that is terrorizing residents.
This comes after two people were shot dead by a gang during a robbery on Monday night.
The victims include a woman and an accomplice who was accidentally shot.
According to police, the incident occurred when a three-member gang attacked a general store in Mushikoma district.
Witnesses told police the gang went to a store and asked them to deposit money to a mobile phone number.
When the officers responded to the gang, unaware of their mission, one of the gunmen grabbed the man's cell phone.
