Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot and killed in Nara

On 8th of July, around 12 noon, the Ex-PM of Japan, Shinzo Abe, was killed. He was in Nara province giving a speech during his rally. An open fire was made from behind. It is suspected that the gun used to kill the 67-year-old ex-leader was homemade. Although the suspect has been arrested, the main motive remains unknown. The doctors tried their best to save him, but at 5.03 pm, Abe took his last breath, just 5 hours after being shot.

Abe is known as the longest-serving leader in the political history of Japan. The present Pm is taking the assassination quite strongly, and the world leaders are very shocked, claiming it to be an act of brutalism in the face of politics. Doctors treating him announced that his death was caused by 2 wounds, one on the right side of his neck.
