JAKARTA - Tetsuya Yamagami is the sole perpetrator of the fatal shooting that killed former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Weapons are nothing but foreign to Yamagami.

Quoted from good luck Shimbun, Japan's Ministry of Defense said Yamagami had indeed been part of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force or Maritime Self-Defense Forces for three years to 2005.

He learned how to shoot and assemble and dismantle rifles during his limited tenure in the MSDF, sources said.

In a video taken by someone at the scene, a man believed to be Yamagami is seen standing between a crowd of about 5 to 10 meters behind Abe.

Yamagami was seen by witnesses walking slowly approaching Abe on the road in front of Yamato-Saidaiji Station, Kintetsu Railway, who had spoken for several minutes, before shooting him.

loud laughter were heard from the crowd and Abe fell to the ground a few seconds later. Yamagami was immediately arrested by police officers.

A member of the campaign staff was seen desperately trying to revive Abe, pushing his chest with both hands as he lay on the ground with his eyes closed. The closest people asked for medical help.

The weapon used by the Abe attacker emitted a sound that could be compared to the explosion, and white smoke soared into the air after it was released. A smell likeks can be detected afterwards.

The weapon appears to be wrapped in duct tape.
