Shinzo Abe, Japan's longest-serving Prime Minister, was killed, and Tetsuya Yamagami has been identified, apprehended, and incarcerated as the suspect.
Yamagami, the 41-year-old murderer, was a former military who had served for three years in the maritime self-defence force, which is the nation's equivalent of the navy, around 2005.
Yamagami has been detained At the Nara Nishi Police Station, which is close to where shots were fired on Friday in the western Japan region of Nara.
The shooter did not flee, according to the Japanese Nippon Hoso Kyokai (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) NHK. He allegedly sought out Shinzo Abe with the intent to kill him.
According to a witness who spoke to NHK, the shooter made no attempt to flee the scene. Instead, he laid this gun on the ground and remained still while being captured by security.
