My heartbreaks at this news. Shinzo Abe was well loved. I am still in shock, Japan is such a peaceful country. Our prayers here at FGGAM, are with the people of Japan. My daughter Gretchen and I just visited the Japanese Friendship Garden of Phoenix on Father’s Day weekend. We had a lovely talk with a wonderful woman from Japan about world peace. I have been blessed in my 66 years to have many friends from Japan.
From The Christian Post:
World leaders reacted with a range of emotions shortly after the assassination of Japan’s former and longest-serving prime minister, Shinzo Abe, Friday morning. Abe died at the age of 67 after he was shot while campaigning for a candidate ahead of national elections.
Tetsuya Yamagami, 41, was charged with attempted murder before Abe’s death was announced, according to Japanese media.
Hidetada Fukushima, the professor in charge of emergency medicine at Nara Medical University Hospital, told The New York Times that Abe was pronounced dead shortly after 5 p.m. in Japan.
