damn... that's really shocking for Japan.

I didn't know Abe's politics, but he was in public life for a long time...shooter looked young from the pictures though...

edit: sounds like the shooter was in his 40s... I guess Abe was promoting Japan taking a bit more proactive approach to the defense of Taiwan and also was looking at modifying the Constitution away from its more defense-only military into some less so (don't know exactly how far he was pushing this position however)
