Abe seems like a nice guy and I got the impression that Trump really liked him.

Everything is just so crazy nowadays, I also worry about Trump’s safety...

Prayers up for Mr Abe and his loved ones... this is so sad.

Looks like a couple of assault pipes attached to some assault plywood all taped together with high powered black assault duct tape.

For the last hour, NHK is saying no signs of life. They are just delaying the obvious.

OMG :-(

Prayers up for the entire Japanese nation.

This is a tragedy...

For the Japanese people this will be similar to our dark day when Kennedy was shot.

Gun crime is exceedingly rare in Japan. Culprit will confess and be hanged.

At least the assassin is wearing a mask.

He may murder, but will not spread the Covid.

This was an assassination. And I’m glad Japan has the death penalty.
