Japan: Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe Assassinated During Speech

Now, this is something you don’t see every day.

The former Prime Minister of Japan was assassinated with an improvised gun on Friday while giving a speech.

He resigned as Prime Minister a couple years ago under strange circumstances.

There are not a lot of details about why someone wanted to kill him. Japan has a high rate of lunatic behavior, but this seems political.

RIP, I guess.
