Japan’s longest-serving Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot dead on Friday during an election campaigning. Since the leader was shot, mourners have been continuously visiting the assassination site in Nara city of Japan.

An ex-military man shot the 67-year-old leader twice — wounding him on right of his neck and left clavicle but had no other signs, said the Nara emergency services department where he was taken.

In the mean time, campaigning continued on the last day of electioneering prior to voting for the upper house of parliament. PM Fumio Kishida, a protege of Abe’s, is supposed to convey triumph to the ruling alliance. Local media has announced that Abe’s funeral is probably going to take place on July 12 post elections and will see the participation of world leaders. PM Narendra Modi mourned Abe’s death and announced public grieving on July 9.
