Meanwhile, Japanese police yesterday said they discovered several suspected bullet marks on a building near the shooting site. The suspect had used a powerful homemade gun and the first shot narrowly missed Abe. The second shot struck him in the neck, triggering internal bleeding in the chest.
The former PM did not have any vital signs when he was airlifted from the incident site to a hospital.
Abe was Japan’s longest-serving prime minister and remained influential as well as in the limelight despite quitting two years ago due to health reasons.
