Shinzo Abe was a Japanese politician who served as the Prime Minister of Japan. He held the position from 2006 to 2007 and then again from 2012 to 2020, making him one of the longest-serving prime ministers in Japanese history. Abe is a member of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and comes from a prominent political family; his grandfather, Nobusuke Kishi, also served as Prime Minister. During his tenure, Abe pursued various economic, foreign policy, and security reforms, and he was known for his advocacy of "Abenomics," a set of economic policies aimed at revitalizing Japan's economy. Additionally, Abe's tenure saw efforts to strengthen Japan's defense capabilities and assert its presence in regional security affairs, particularly in response to concerns about China's rising influence and North Korea's nuclear program.

Japan is one of the last places you'd expect to hear about gun violence, never mind a politically motivated assassination. Yet, that is exactly what happened when former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was gunned down in cold blood.
