That certainly has to be Yakusa-based, with political motivations behind it. To murder a public official, especially one of his standing would never fly with petty criminals in a place like Japan.

Wow guns are very rare in Japan. Even the cops don't normally have them.

The mayor of the Japanese city of Nagasaki was shot to death in a brazen attack Tuesday by an organized crime chief apparently enraged that the city refused to compensate him after his car was damaged at a public works construction site, news agencies reported.
