Shinzo Abe, Japan’s longest-serving former prime minister, has died after being shot during a campaign speech in one of the most significant acts of political violence to rock the country in the postwar era. Abe, aged 67, was confirmed dead shortly after 5pm local time, according to the hospital where he was brought. The fire department said he was shot twice in the neck and left collarbone at around 11.30am on Friday in the western city of Nara. The shooting of one of the most influential modern leaders in Japan, a society where violence is rare and only a handful of people own guns, has shocked the country’s public and leaders around the world. “I am at a loss of words. This heinous act of brutality is utterly unforgivable,” a tearful Fumio Kishida, Japan’s current prime minister, said after Abe’s death was confirmed. He added that the final day of campaigning for elections to Japan’s upper house on Sunday will be carried out as scheduled “to protect free and fair elections”. Police arrested a 41-year-old male suspect at the site of the shooting. Images from the scene suggested the assailant used a homemade weapon. Nara police identified the suspect as Tetsuya Yamagami, a resident of the city, with no known occupation. According to the defence ministry, he served in the Japanese Maritime Self-Defence Force from 2002 to 2005. The motive for the shooting was not immediately clear. According to state broadcaster NHK, Yamagami told the police that he did not “hold any grudge against the former prime minister’s political beliefs” but still wanted to kill Abe.
Inejirō Asanuma, the then-head of the Japan Socialist party, was the last high-profile Japanese politician to be killed, after a stabbing in 1960. There was an assassination attempt against former prime minister Morihiro Hosokawa in 1994. Since stepping down as prime minister two years ago, Abe had remained an influential member of parliament as head of the ruling Liberal Democratic party’s largest faction. Videos from the scene in Nara showed him giving a speech to support a local LDP candidate near Yamato-Saidaiji station in the city’s suburbs. Two loud shots were audible and a puff of white smoke was visible behind the former prime minister. Two students who witnessed the shooting told public broadcaster NHK that they saw something “resembling a toy bazooka” and heard a loud bang when Abe was shot the first time.
