Japan ex-prime minister Abe may have been shot, taken to hospital - NHK

Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visits Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo

 

TOKYO, July 8 (Reuters) - Japan's former prime minister Shinzo Abe has been taken to hospital bleeding after collapsing while delivering a speech in the city of Nara in western Japan, public broadcaster NHK reported on Friday.

A sound like a gunshot was heard at the time, and a male suspect has been detained, NHK said.

The Guardian stating Abe has no viral signs. Does not look good for him.

The shooter being apprehended, looks like a homemade twin pipe barrel gun.

According to NHK, he has passed away. The hospital was apparently waiting for his wife to arrive before making an official announcement.  

 

This is a shockingly rare occurence here. There are very few violent crimes- even in this one, the assassin used a hand-made firearm. Real guns are almost impossible to get.  I wonder if it will change how politicians and even members of the Imperial Family go about their everyday business. 

Awful news.

 

RIP

Terrible news poor man, what is the point of killing an EX PM?
