YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

This is the horrifying moment former Japanese leader Shinzo Abe was shot dead during a political rally Friday.

Eyewitness videos posted online show the 67-year-old political giant calmly giving a campaign speech in the western city of Nara when a cloud of smoke emerges after the boom of an initial shot.

Abe and those around him seem confused at first, with the ex-prime minister slowly turning in the direction of the initial boom — just to be felled by a second blast around three seconds later.

The politician clutches his chest and slowly tumbles to the ground as those around him take cover.
