A Konami Digital Entertainment employee in Japan tried to kill the boss with a fire extinguisher, writes. News. The men reportedly argued for a long time.

Other workers rushed to the noise, pushing the assailant away from their victims. The chief was wounded in the head and survived, and the Japanese were arrested for attempted murder.
