Japan’s former PM Shinzo Abe assassinated at rally – BBC News


Japan’s longest serving Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been assassinated during a campaign rally.  

The former Prime Minister was shot at close range while making a speech in Nara, in the west of the country.  

He was taken to hospital by helicopter but doctors were unable to save him.  

Police arrested a 41 year old man shortly after the attack.  

There is shock and disbelief in Japan which has low rates of violent crime and tough gun laws.
