NARA -- A gun attack on former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe threw an ordinary election campaign rally, where many voters had gathered, into a scene of chaos filled with shouts and screams.
"Ambulance! Ambulance!" one person called out, while another shouted, "Medical workers, please come forward!"
After Abe, 67, was shot while making a street speech in Nara City during a campaign for the upcoming House of Councillors election, he collapsed on the street. A man with a shotgun was apprehended by police officers and others nearby.
