From Twitter, "Eyewitnesses say the shooter was within 3 meters of Abe. The weapon was not a pistol, but a gun with a long barrel. The shots produced visible smoke from the gun barrel."
A quick search tells me that guns are outlawed in Japan. So how can a person get "3 meters" away from the former MP with a shotgun?...

Any chance that this event is just theater?
Always a chance.
