A Nation in Mourning: Shinzo Abe Assassinated
November 21, 2022
Shinzo Abe assassinated. The world reacts in shock.
Earlier in the day, a man by the name of Tetsuya Yamagami walked up to Shinzo Abe, who was speaking at a political event outside Yamato-Saidaiji Station in Nara City, Nara Prefecture.
While Abe was delivering his speech, the perpetrator approached Abe within several meters, despite security presence. The gun was homemade and resembled a sawed-off, double-barreled shotgun and was capable of firing six pellets at a time. The first shot missed. The second shot did not, and struck Abe in the neck and chest. By the time Abe reached Nara Medical University Hospital, he was reported to have no vital signs.
The perpetrator claimed that he was driven by a grudge against the Unification Church for ruining his family. Even though he originally planned to target Hak Ja Han, then president of the church, he was unable to approach her, so he switched to Shinzo Abe, who he believed was "one of the most influential sympathisers" of the church.
This was the first of a major political figure in Nippon since Inejiro Asanuma's assassination in 1960. With Nippon already rearing from Shina's imminent invasion, the loss of one of the most beloved political figures in modern day Nippon has taken a heavy toll on the country and morale.
