Live stream from Japan. Reports are now saying he's coding. Shot in the back with a shotgun.

NHK just showed a video of it. The shooter shot twice and just stood there. Didn't attempt to run at all.

Japanese can code while shot. Amazing. 

[The Ace of Aces 5366]

Blue checks saying he’s in cardiac arrest and has no vital signs. I fear the thread title will need to be changed to delete “attempt”. 

For peace and less international chaos, I hope it’s a Japanese citizen who shot him.

Aren’t murders by gun pretty much unheard of in Japan?

[SizzleChest 8302]

Looks like a homemade gun TBH.

I would very much appreciate a tale of revenge,, carried out for reasons that are generally sympathetic.

So very Japanese.

A homemade shotgun???

Someone pull the emergency brake. I want off this planet.

[Hermanator 7570]

You want off now? 

Because a populist piece of shit right wing politician who fucked over the people of another country half way around the world got assassinated?

Fuck that, shit's just now getting entertaining.

Pipe shotguns are not remotely new. They're pretty much the simplest home made gun. He may not have even used shotgun shells. For all we know he harvested propellant from fireworks and it was a double barreled musket or some shit. People committed to doing something insane will find a way.

Oh shit, guys. Here come the gun lessons! Woohoo!

Let me guess, “loner gunman acting completely independently?”

Clearly the shooter's mental health issues pulled the trigger.

Too many doors.

Lol for real. 

The trigger looks like an electrical switch to allow the batteries to dump their energy into whatever he packed into those hardware store plumbing pipes. 

 

[chainsaw 10243]

It was interesting to see the parallels with the events we have here in the US. Before anyone knew anything about the shooter the Japanese local news comment section-erati were absolutely certain he must have been Korean or Chinese. Harkened back to the days of yore (six weeks ago) when people were certain Salvador Ramos was a trans illegal alien.

The guy is Japanese, formerly served in their "Navy" even

No he wasn’t. From all the photos I’ve seen, his nose wasn’t covered. If your nose isn’t covered then you’re not masked. Here are three men masked and the shooter not.
