Shinzo Abe was pronounced dead at 5:03 pm. Based on his wounds, it appeared he had been shot from the front, said Hidetada Fukushima, of Nara Medical University Hospital. Witnesses had said they saw the gunman approaching from behind. Fukushima said there was what appeared to be an exit wound on Abe's left shoulder. More than 20 medical personnel worked on the former prime minister.

Police have shared little information about the alleged shooter, but some details trickled out Saturday through police sources in Japanese media. Yamagami was a Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force member for three years in his early 20s. Police found multiple homemade guns in his home Friday. He was arrested on-site, and police say he admitted to the killing, which he said was not politically motivated.

He told investigators that his mother had become bankrupt after spending her money to support a religious group, according to Japanese newspaper Mainichi Shimbun, which cited police sources. He said his family fell apart because of his mother’s obsession with the group, and he targeted Abe “out of resentment,” Mainichi reported.
