Cruelly gunned down at a political rally, Japan’s longest serving Prime Minister lost his life in a senseless act of violence.
He was allegedly killed by 41-year-old navy veteran Tetsuya Yamagami with a handmade double-barrel shotgun required to circumnavigate Japan’s strict anti-gun laws. Tetsuya was arrested at the scene where he confessed to police that he was ‘dissatisfied with Abe’ and ‘wanted to kill him’
Japanese media reports that Tetsuya was a member of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force for a three year period and a local resident.
