The Prime Minister of Japan , Shinzo Abe dead after shooting attack!

 

Shinzo Abe, Japan's longest-serving politician and former prime minister, passed away on Friday after being shot while running for a parliamentary seat, startling a nation where political unrest is uncommon and firearms are strictly regulated.

 

How Shinzo Murder?

 

Abe, 67, was shot by a guy wielding an improvised gun while he spoke at a dull traffic island in the western city of Nara, according to Japanese media.

Since the height of prewar militarism in 1936, it was the first assassination of an active or former Japanese prime.

 

Struggle of Doctors to save Shinzo life was ruined

 

Abe passed away at 5:03 p.m. (08:03 GMT), or roughly five and a half hours after being shot, despite doctors' best efforts.

 

A doctor revealed at a nationally broadcast press conference that the victim died from two severe wounds, one of which was on the right side of his neck. When he was brought in, the former leader's vital signs were nonexistent.

 

Prime Minister Fumio Kishida spoke before Abe's passing, denouncing the shooting in the "strongest terms" as shocked Japanese and foreign leaders looked on.

Police statement

 

Kishida struggled to control his emotions as he added, "This attack is an act of savagery that happened during the elections - the very cornerstone of our democracy - and is totally inexcusable."

A 41-year-old male was reportedly detained by police after being accused of carrying out the shooting. According to NHK, the suspect, Tetsuya Yamagami, told police he wanted to assassinate Abe because he was unhappy with him.

 

Two bullets were fired when Abe was speaking during a campaign speech in front of a train station. The individual was then seen being tackled by security personnel while wearing a grey T-shirt and beige pants.

 

A businessman who was present at the scene, Makoto Ichikawa, told Reuters that there had been a tremendous blast followed by smoke.

 

"After the initial shot, nobody knew what was happening.
