Featured on Jul 8, 2022 by Null: Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot with a makeshift electric blackpowder rifle and has died after several hours in the hospital.
At 11:30 AM in Nara, Japan, Shinzo Abe was assassinated in the middle of a public speech. The first shot missed, but the second shot reached his heart. Despite receiving multiple blood transfusions, he unfortunately passed away some hours later from blood loss. Here is a large gallery consisting of footage of the incident, as well as some aftermath footage.
The shooter was this 41 year old Hideo Kojima lookalike named Tetsuya Yamagami, who killed him with a blunderbluss that holds a resemblance to the scattergun used by Scout in TF2. As of now he is in custody in Kyoto. His motivations according to this video was that he initially wanted to kill the leader of an unspecified religious group that his familiy was affiliated with, and chose to kill Abe as he believed he was associated with this group. It's speculated that this group is the Unification Church. Although he was part of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, he left in 2005 and was currently working as a forklift operator. His knowledge of making weapons came from articles he found online. Here's a moment of him firing his gun:

Here's some pictures of weapons that were found in his apartment:



Here's a transcript of a Japanese interview that talks about his guns a bit.
Much of the blame of Abe's death can also be pinned on his incompetent security. It's not the fact that there's so few of them (the point of the event was that the public was supposed to be close to Abe), but the fact that whoever was there was just shit at their job. Other than the fact that they look about as imposing as Steve Urkel, they're also brilliant tacticians, choosing to rise up their briefcases as protective shields instead of actually getting Abe away from the line of fire.
