    Shot Japanese ex-PM

    Former Japanese PM shot


    Japan prime minister ‘showing no vital signs’, say emergency services
    https://www.theguardian.com/world/li...-attack-speech

    Japanese media have said that the country’s former prime minister, Shinzo Abe, is in a state of cardiopulmonary arrest after apparently being shot during a campaign speech on Friday in western Japan.


    National broadcaster NHK has quoted firefighters as saying he has no vital signs.

    No updates on Abe’s condition have been given since the incident occurred almost two hours ago. Japanese media often use the term “in a state of heart failure” to describe situations in which the victim is no longer alive but a doctor has yet to sign their death certificate. It is not clear at this point if this is what has happened in Abe’s case.

      Homemade weapon looks like two metal pipes duct taped together on top of a plank of wood:

          Yeah I'm shocked.

          If it was the US we would all shrug as they have at least a couple of mass shootings a week.

            To be fair they do make a big thing about John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald.

            John Hinckley Jr. did cause a stir

              And James Earl Ray.

              You need a middle name to be an assassin of any repute.

              Which is why Sirhan Sirhan was just the patsy.

              He had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.

              I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

                  Japan still has the death penalty.

                    Since this is now world news, they will need to check if the killer is sane.

                    Police said at a press conference Yamagami had said he had a grudge against what was described as a specific organisation he believed Abe to be a part of, but officers could not say whether the organisation actually existed.
