Horrible. Gun violence is so rare there, so the thought of someone being shot is insane.

I saw something yesterday about it being a hand made gun. I'm curious to know more about that. Are we talking like a 3D printed "ghost gun" type thing or did someone actually hand make some kind of roughshod gun like it's the 1500s.

Dude straight up taped 2 pipes to a bicycle handle and ignited the ammunition using electricity from batteries.

(The ammo was also home made)

It was two pipes taped together with an electrical trigger. Homemade ammunition, too, given all the smoke it made.

I didn't realize he wasn't the leader anymore. Why would you assassinate someone after they left office?

Because they are "dissatisfied" according to the killer.

Killer was a conspiracy theory nut, most likely:
https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-asia-62088876
Shooter had grudge against 'specific organisation' - police

The suspected shooter told officers he had a grudge against a "specific organisation", police say.

Yamagami believed Shinzo Abe was part of that group, which is why he shot him, they add.

Asked by a member of the Japanese media whether the shooter's intention was to kill Abe, police say only that Yamagami admitted to shooting the former PM.

Abe's policies and vision for the country is still being forwarded and is the agenda for the party. Kishida, Abe's successor and current prime minister, is his protege. Abe's economic policies during his tenure was a bit of a mixed bag too. I'm guessing that's where the discontent came from, plus Abe's strain of nationalism. Abe is kind of like Obama in Japan, a well respected ex-head of state who is still relevant in politics as a figurehead.

That gun looks like some Dr. Stone hacked together shit. Wish this nut had just used it to scare off a mountain bear or something instead.

It's basically a pipe bomb with an open end.
