Previous top state leader Abe was shot at around 11:30 am, in the country’s western area of Nara, boss bureau secretary Hirokazu Matsuno told journalists.

Japan’s previous Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been shot, an administration representative said Friday, as neighborhood media revealed the ex-chief was giving no fundamental indications.

“Previous top state leader Abe was shot at around 11:30 am,” in the country’s western area of Nara, boss bureau secretary Hirokazu Matsuno told journalists.

One man, accepted to be the shooter, has been arrested. The state of previous state leader Abe is at present obscure.”

Anything that the explanation, such a boorish demonstration can never be endured, and we unequivocally censure it,” Mr Matsuno added.
