Godango 1,014 Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been shot during a campaign speech in Nara, with reporting states he is showing no vital signs. Local (Australian) news outlets are stating that in Japan, 'no vital signs' is usually used in reporting when a person has died, though they stressed this needs to be confirmed. Extremely sad, either way as per below, his death has now been confirmed. A man in his 40's was immediately arrested at the scene.
