Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot. It is not conscious. Bomber arrested

Terrorism reaches as far as Japan. Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was the victim of an attack in which a 41-year-old man shot him two shots while the politician gave a speech on the street in the city of Nara in preparation for the upcoming elections to the Japanese Upper House . Abe was taken away in cardiovascular arrest and apparently has not yet regained consciousness. A local MP from his party said he was shot in the chest on the left side. The bomber was immediately arrested. Here is a video with the whole scene.

Abe, a well-known figure and prime minister twice, the last from 2012 to 2020, is a leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic party and known for his "Abenomics", a development policy based on public debt financed investments. Abe is 67 years old.

Japan unfortunately has a certain tradition of internal terrorism, but there is no news yet on the reasons that would have prompted the attacker to make his gesture. Surely it was a predetermined attack for a long time, as the bomber built the gun , consisting of two smooth iron barrels wrapped in black adhesive tape, also because in Japan few possess firearms. The country, although affected by social tensions due to the covid and the economic crisis, has so far demonstrated an enviable social strength from any other Western country.

Prime Minister Kishida stopped his activities and went to Nara and visits by politicians to the former prime minister's office began.
