Description
Tokyo residents react with disbelief to the news that Japan's former prime minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated on Friday by a gunman who opened fire at close range as the hugely influential politician delivered a campaign speech. The murder of the 67-year-old, who had been Japan's longest-serving leader, stunned the nation and prompted an international outpouring of grief and condemnation. It was all the more shocking given Japan's strict gun laws and low rates of violent crime: one Tokyo resident speculates on whether he was "able to obtain such a weapon because he was a member of the Maritime Self-Defence Forces".
