The shooter claimed he was 'dissatisfied with Abe so he killed him with no political related agitation. That doesn't make sense, but again this is a crazed killer so I guess their warped motivations make sense to them alone.

The gun was handmade and he homemade explosives found in his home. He had training as a part of 3 years served in the Japanese navy.


Japan has among the strictest gun laws so it makes it even more surprising to it's population.

Killer made his own gun from pipes, battery and duct tape, basically.

My experience with people like Abe's killer is that they frequently cannot articulate their actions with sophistication, often explaining things in the simplest of forms. "I didn't like that guy, man". And eventually when they can articulate on a more sophisticated level, it's still rooted in some overly simplified computation of thought. It's like that kid in school you all knew who responds to something and when you ask them why, all they tell is "well that's what you do - that's just how it is!".

It's like something out of a comic book or movie, crazy.

What an awful shame.
