Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was reportedly unconscious and unresponsive after collapsing following an apparent attack during a speech he was delivering in Nara, Japan on July 8, 2022. Public broadcaster NHK reported that two shots were heard before Abe collapsed, and that a local fire department said he was taken to hospital bleeding and “in a state of cardio-respiratory arrest” – a phrase used in Japan before a feared death can be confirmed by a doctor. A male suspect described as a young or middle-aged male was detained at around 11.30 am local time. Warning: This video includes scenes which may be disturbing to some viewers.
