Not looking good for him either-
NHK and Kyodo both reported Abe was taken to hospital and appeared to be in cardo-respiratory arrest — a term used in Japan indicating no vital signs, and generally preceding a formal certification of death by a coroner.
Several media outlets reported that he appeared to have been shot from behind, possibly with a shotgun.

“The police also confiscated the gun and the confiscated gun appears to be handmade. ”
Uh, oh. The terrifying ghost guns back in the news.

This morning media is reporting that Abe died.
Damn, he was one of the very few good ones
