Nagasaki Mayor critical after shooting, suspect believed to be Yakuza
 
Nagasaki Mayor Itcho Ito was shot in front of JR Nagasaki Station on Tuesday evening, police said.

Police have named the shooting suspect as 59-year-old Tetsuya Shiroo from Nagasaki, a senior member of Suishin-kai, an affiliate of Japan's largest underworld syndicate Yamaguchi-gumi.

The suspect allegedly shot Ito from behind as the mayor was returning to his office after campaigning for the upcoming mayoral election.

sho tin the back twice by a crinme syndicate pawn...sdounds realistic...hmmm...how sad, another life taken...

Yes, it is sad. This further adds to my argument that, even in a country like Japan where guns are strictly forbidden, you can get one if you really want one.

"When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns", even in Japan

lol...actually...it depends on the strictness of the enforcement of the rule...
