He was Japan’s longest-serving leader

He died hours after being shot while campaigning for a parliamentary election, startling a country where political violence is uncommon and weapons are strictly regulated.

 

Shinzo Abe education: Where did Shinzo Abe have his education?

Abe attended Seikei Elementary, Junior, and Senior High Schools. 
He studied public administration at Seikei University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree  in political science in 1977. 
He then came to the United States and spent three semesters studying public policy at the University of Southern California’s School of Policy, Planning, and Development (now the USC Price School of Public Policy).

It was the first assassination of a sitting or former Japanese leader since a coup attempt in 1936, when numerous officials, including two ex-premiers, were killed.

The shooter started to fire from behind on Abe as he addressed the public on a drab traffic island in the western city of Nara.

According to Japanese media, the weapon seemed to be a handmade gun.

Doctors were unable to resuscitate Abe, who was brought to the hospital in cardiopulmonary arrest with no vital signs. He was certified dead five and a half hours after being shot at 5:03 p.m. (0803 GMT).
