“Japan’s former prime minister, Shinzo Abe, has reportedly collapsed while making a speech, with initial reports saying gunshots had been heard shortly before he fell to the ground.
NHK, Japan’s public broadcaster, said Abe—the country’s longest-serving prime minister until he resigned in 2020—appeared to be bleeding from the chest.
NHK said a man had been taken into custody but provided no further details. Abe, 67, had been in the city of Nara to make a campaign speech ahead of this Sunday’s upper house elections.” — G3 News
