‘Like time had stopped’: Japan grapples with Shinzo Abe’s loss

Al Jazeera  

The former prime minister’s body returns to capital Tokyo as a shocked nation comes to terms with his assassination. Tokyo, Japan – The fatal shooting of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in the western prefecture of Nara has sent shockwaves through Japan, a country where firearms are highly regulated and gun violence is rare. ‘Like time had stopped’ Tomigaya, where Abe lived, including during the period he served as prime minister, is a leafy, central neighbourhood – home to embassies and popular cafes and restaurants. “I’ve shot some guns, I’ve seen some guns, but in Tokyo, in Japan, never.” Police have since confirmed the weapon that killed Abe was homemade. As the nation grapples with the shock and many mourn the loss of Abe, the upcoming election results may bring more sharply into focus the effects of the former prime minister’s loss on the LDP.
