Christine,

From The Japan Times, Sunday, November 9, 1997:

Man shoots himself in police station

YOKOHAMA (Kyodo) A 55-year-old man shot himself dead Saturday with a 38-caliber revolver as he was being questioned at a police station in Nishi Ward here, police said.

The incident occurred at 2:50 p.m. Saturday when Yoshio Yanagi seized the pistol from an investigator while being questioned over a violation of the Firearm and Sword Control Law, they said.

Yanagi was arrested Oct. 22 on suspicion of entrusting the Brazilian-made revolver to an acquaintance and was being held at the Kanagawa Prefectural Tobe Police Station.

The investigator was asking whether Yanagi acknowledged the allegations concerning the weapon, which was found at the acquaintance's home, when Yanagi grabbed the pistol and shot himself.
