National Public Safety Commission Chair Inspects Site Of Abe Shooting
Japan's National Public Safety Commission chairperson has inspected the site where former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo was shot dead.
Ninoyu Satoshi visited the city of Nara, western Japan, on Sunday. He observed a moment of silence at the site.
He was briefed by Nara prefectural police officers, including details of Abe's security arrangements at the time of the incident.
Abe was shot from behind while delivering an election campaign speech on July 8. Police are investigating the 41-year-old suspect Yamagami Tetsuya on suspicion of murder, while reviewing their response to the attack.
The National Police Agency has set up a task force to revise security measures for dignitaries while examining problems with Abe's security, such as the inadequate response to the attack from behind.
