Sugiura then departed. Sugiura came back armed with a rifle and opened fire at approximately 20:00 that evening, killing three people. Two of Sugiura's targets — the mother-in-law and a 23-year-old bar employee named Tatsuya Fukui (ja 福井 達也 no) — died immediately; a third, 49-year-old bar landlord Hiroto Uehara (ja 上原 浩人 no), died shortly thereafter. Witnesses described the rifle shots as "three or four blunt bangs"; a pool of blood was left in front of the bar.
Sugiura then exited the bar and shot himself in the abdomen, killing himself.
