Japan’s former prime minister, Shinzo Abe, has been shot whilst giving a speech, with the suspect allegedly using a homemade shotgun and immediately causing many to theorize the motive behind the attack, as such violence is rare in Japan.
The vicious attack occurred whilst Abe was giving a speech in Nara City, and it was believed he was shot in the chest and neck from behind with a homemade shotgun – 41-year-old male Tetsue Yamagami was believed to be the assailant and has been detained.
Abe was giving a speech as the election for Japan’s House of Councillors was set to take place July 10th, and it is said he entered into a state of cardiopulmonary arrest while being escorted to a hospital.
Law enforcement say Abe was able to respond after being shot before then falling unconscious.
Witnesses in the area mentioned hearing two gunshots 1-2 minutes after Abe’s speech commenced, with the former prime minister then collapsing whilst covered in blood – others also mentioned seeing the suspect wearing some form of headgear before he walked up behind the prime minister.
Ministry of Defense officials learned that Yamagami was a member of the Maritime Self Defense Force for three years around 2005, and Yamagami testified saying he was “discontent with prime minister Shinzo Abe” and “decided to try and kill him”.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno was quoted saying “A barbaric act like this is absolutely unforgivable, no matter what the reasons are, and we condemn it strongly”.
The former prime minister was the longest to serve, holding office from September 2006 to September 2007, and then again from December 2012 to September 2020, only to then step down because of a chronic health problem.
China’s legion of hateful drones were quick to wish death upon the prime minister, perhaps in hopes of boosting their social credit scores.

Such an event will no doubt have Westerners obsessed with wanting stricter gun control thinking up excuses for how a gun crime can be carried out in a country with highly strict firearm laws, all while ignoring a previous stabbing spree described as the worst mass murder in Japan in 70 years.
Some other news came out. Unfortunately Shinzo Abe could not withstand his injuries and died in the hospital…
May he rest in peace. He was one of the prime ministers who did the most for Japan.
he made all japanese espcially the elderly eat food made in the fukushima nuclear waste zone which covers over 250 miles north of tokyo and he force fed it to them. their bodies bone marrow are full of mox plutonium fuel rods he is a world wide war criminal feeding that to the world too.
“who did the most for Japan”
How faggot he was one of the causes for inflation and the stupid r♥♥e apes due to this pricks immigration policys. Not only that he was apart of the WEF so NO he wasn’t doing anything good for japan.
damn…
Wonder if the guy even realized Abe was not longer the Prime Minister.
F.
He was Japan’s Trump and made tried to make it better.
HAHAHAHA
You white loosers living in Ohio larping as japanese nationalists are pathetic. Go and join your Abe.
Shut up n♥♥♥♥r
RIP 🙁
His security is fucking useless. First letting someone approach from the back. Second, not beating the s♥♥t out of the shooter.
Yet the dude got shot in a country with some of the strongest anti-gun laws in the world. Much like Chicago (and the state of Illinois in general) has some of the strongest anti-gun laws in America…
Because there’s nothing that prevents someone from making their own gun.
are you claiming that gun laws do not prevent any crimes?
Duh.
Take a quick look at every anti-gun liberal city and compare them to the rest of America. Gun laws haven’t saved anything but a scumbag politician’s votes.
I mean they don’t, if someone wants a gun they can make one.
They let it happen on purpose.
Shinzo got shot in his shinzo (heart)
