It is known that Tetsuya Yamagami shot former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe with his own gun.

The Asahi and Yomiuri Shimbun reported that the police appeared to have practiced in Yamagami’s vehicle in advance, saying that they “discovered a wooden plank with several holes in it.”

It is known that he tried to commit the crime on the 7th, the day before the crime, at a speech hall in Okayama City where Abe attended.

Why did you want to kill former Prime Minister Abe so much? Japanese media, such as the Yomiuri Shimbun, reported that Yamagami “had a grudge against a certain religion.”

Yamagami said to the police, “I decided to commit the crime after seeing the video of former Prime Minister Abe sent to a specific religious group.”

According to the Asahi Shimbun, Yamagami’s mother made a huge donation as a believer of a certain religion, and was declared bankrupt in early 2002.

The newspaper reported that, citing a relative of Yamagami, “he must have continued to complain,” saying, “His family has been ruined over a certain religion.”

While Yamagami prepared for the crime so meticulously, it is pointed out that the security guard was weak.

After Yamagami fired his first shot, there was a gap of three seconds, when no one could stop it, and in the end, the second shot killed former Prime Minister Abe.

“I felt the greatest guilt and regret in my 27 years of police life,” said Tomoaki Onizuka, head of the Nara Prefectural Police Department, at a press conference.
