Video shows moment former Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was gunned down (NY Post) 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.

Security must’ve been really complacent to allow the gunman to get in so close to Shinzo Abe. pic.twitter.com/ygJ9yQygsj
