Japan's Former PM Shinzo Abe Assassinated
July 08, 2022

Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has died after being shot in the chest during a campaign speech Friday, medical officials said.

The attack shocked Japan, a nation with some of the most restrictive gun control laws in the world.

The 67-year-old Abe died at a hospital in Nara. He had been getting treatment there for gunshot wounds from what police described as a handmade gun.

Abe was Japan’s longest-serving prime minister. He resigned in 2020 because of a health problem.
