Japan’s longest-serving prime minister Shinzo Abe was shot dead with a handmade gun on Friday morning. The 67-year-old was shot from behind while giving a campaign speech in the city of #Nara ahead of legislative elections on Sunday. The bullets that killed Abe hit him in the neck and chest and the doctors failed to resuscitate him, a doctor involved with his treatment said at a press conference.
