TOKYO — Shinzo Abe, the former prime minister of Japan, collapsed and was left unconscious after he was apparently shot on Friday while giving a speech in western Japan, according to a fire official.
Mr. Abe, 67, appeared to be bleeding after a gunshot was heard in the city of Nara near Kyoto, according to a reporter for NHK, the public broadcaster. Kyodo News said Mr. Abe had been shot in the chest.
NHK, citing the police, said a suspect, Tetsuya Yamagami, 42, had been taken into custody. He was a Nara resident, the report said.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

This was shocking.
Read that the gun used was homemade and that the motive was not politcally based.

..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.
