Shinzo Abe was assassinated July 8, 2022 during a campaign speech !!
Yes, Abe was shot from behind by a person with a make shift shot gun, while his security stood their watching in complete surprise. His back area was completely exposed, and the area unsecured.
The motive was about a Unification Church wrong done to the perp’s mother.The perp thought Abe supported the Unification Church.
