Crazy sobs everywhere, he was a friend of America. I wonder if this was a paid hit.

Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot in the back while delivering a speech on the street in the city of Nara on Friday morning, according to Japanese broadcaster NHK.
Abe was reportedly shot around 11:30 a.m. by an attacker who came at him from behind with a “shotgun,” according to the outlet. An NHK reporter on the scene reported hearing at least two gunshots, and seeing blood as Abe collapsed to the ground.
He was rushed the hospital “without any clear vital signs,” an anchor said, citing local fire officials.

A suspect in his 40s was detained at the scene. The man, wearing a gray shirt and khaki pants, lingered in the area after the incident, according to a witness.
