A sound like a gunshot was heard at the time, and a male suspect was detained at the scene, NHK said. An NHK reporter on the scene said they could hear two consecutive bangs during Abe's speech.

I thought Japan didn't fuck with guns like that.

Reads like an assassination attempt.

Yeah they don't have gun violence like that over there but Abe is actually pretty right wing and a part of a weird religious/political "organization" that is essentially a cult. Ultra nationalist in a country that is very nationalist generally. I bet this is related to that.

Yeah they are strict as hell......but u still have to go thru a ton of hoops to own a shotgun.
Only the police and military can have rifles and handguns.

Wow. History repeats. Here's another clear pic of an ultra-nationalist about to kill another Japanese official half a century ago:

The only difference being that Abe is right wing/crazy nationalist himself.

Johnson ousted and Abe shot. They're disposing of right wing leaders everywhere. Bolsonaro better keep his head on a swivel. Putin is likely safe in his Fortress of Solitude.

Damn they got him with a musket! And the story above says he was assassinated so...guess he didn't make it

Nara is VERY safe even by japanese standards. Its just full of wildlife, and temples.

If there is a place you wouldnt have security it would be there.

Word! This is like the deluded MAGAT's attacking Dan Crenshaw, himself one of the most deluded right wing dudes to ever don an eyepatch. Some intra-psycho violence fasho. I'm here for it.

Nippon Kaigi, a small cult with some of the country’s most powerful people, aims to return Japan to pre-WWII imperial ‘glory.’ Sunday’s elections may further its goal.
