It has been 15 days and a week since the death of former Prime Minister Abe after being shot.

Why did such an unprecedented incident occur?

Could the police prevent the attack?

What is the suspect's character?

I have summarized what I have learned so far.

Many people from the morning on the flower stand

Many people visited the flower stand near the site near Yamato-Saidaiji Station in Nara City from the morning on the 15th, which is one week after the incident.

Over time, the line of visitors to the flower offering became longer, and as of 11:30 am, it lasted for more than 100 meters.

In addition, a man in his 80s who visited from Kishiwada City, Osaka, said, "One week has passed since the incident, and I was finally able to come. During this time, I was thinking about the incident, but taking the opportunity of the incident, Japan in the future I think that each and every one of us must think about what we should be like. "

Nara Prefectural Police Headquarters and others visit the scene of the incident

After 5 am on the 15th, the head of the Nara Prefectural Police Headquarters, Tomoaki Onizuka, and the chief of the investigation, Kazuhisa Yamamura, visited the scene of the incident near Yamato-Saidaiji Station in Nara City.

After turning the flowers to the flower stand, Mr. Onizuka was looking around the site where former Prime Minister Abe was attacked for about 20 minutes.

After confirming the trace of a gun hit on the wall of a multi-storey car park about 90 meters away from the shooting point, while receiving explanations from Mr. Ichi Yamamura, Mr. Onizuka joined hands again at the flower stand. Was there.

Many people donate flowers at the LDP headquarters

Many people visited the flower stand and bookkeeping stand on the premises of the Liberal Democratic Party headquarters in Nagata-cho, Tokyo from the morning to pick up flowers.

A male office worker in his 60s said, "While the Prime Minister was changing, Mr. Abe did a good job. I hope you can take a rest."

Background to the death of former Prime Minister Abe Doctor reveals

A doctor who was treating former Prime Minister Abe told NHK about the course of treatment until the death of former Prime Minister Abe, "The severe situation of cardiopulmonary arrest continued, but treatment will continue until the family arrives at the hospital. It was a policy. I decided to discontinue treatment with the understanding of my family. "

Former Prime Minister Abe, who was shot by a gun during a speech in Nara City on the 8th of this month, was taken by a doctor helicopter to the Nara Medical University Hospital, which is about 20 kilometers away from the scene, and underwent emergency surgery.

Professor Hideken Fukushima, who was in charge of this operation, first said about the situation when he was requested to accept it, "I thought that the situation was quite severe due to the information of cardiopulmonary arrest due to a gunshot wound, but I had to prepare for resuscitation. I started. "

And he said he immediately set about making arrangements to collect as much blood as possible for medical staff and blood transfusions.

In the surgery, he opened his chest to stop bleeding, identified the bleeding part, and took measures to close it. There are many large blood vessels in the chest, so it was a difficult procedure. "

The surgery managed to deal with bleeding from large blood vessels, but the heartbeat did not recover to the end.

On that basis, regarding the process leading up to the death of former Prime Minister Abe, "If you do not respond to resuscitation treatment and you think that there is no chance of recovery even if you continue treatment, you must decide to stop treatment at some point. In general, after making a medical judgment that the limit of resuscitation has been reached, the treatment will be discontinued with the understanding of the family. This time, I heard that the family will come to the hospital, so that's it. The policy was to continue treatment. The family arrived, and after I explained and understood it, I decided to discontinue it. " He explained that he had decided to discontinue treatment.

[The amount of blood transfused is about 13 liters. About 3 of the total blood of an adult male]

The final operation was performed by a total of 41 medical staff, including more than 20 doctors, and the amount of blood transfused was Approximately 13 liters and the amount of blood for three adult male whole bodies were used.

Professor Fukushima looked back on the incident and mentioned that traces of ammunition hitting the walls of the parking lot near the site were found. We haven't fully considered what kind of medical system we can build. We need to think about this incident as a trigger. "

At the end of the interview, he touched on the impact of this incident on the people, saying, "It was a very disappointing result, and there are many people all over the country, including those of us who were involved in the treatment. But I can't stop, so I think I have to keep looking forward anyway. "

Inspection team of the National Police Agency Visit the site

Security at the time that could not prevent the incident.

To verify the problem, a member of the National Police Agency's verification team dispatched to Nara Prefecture from the 14th visited the incident site near Yamato-Saidaiji Station in Nara City.

The verification team gathered around where Yamagami was before the shooting, and confirmed the positional relationship of the place where former Prime Minister Abe was giving a speech while looking at the materials at hand.

After that, the three members looked around the wall of the multi-storey car park where they found something like a gun bullet, about 90 meters away from the shooting point.

Then, I overlooked the scene of the incident from the three-dimensional passage of the station where I could see the whole area.

[Details] Security system at the time of the incident

This case.

A police officer who was on guard was distracted by a man who pushed a dolly right behind the former Prime Minister and did not notice the suspect approaching from diagonally behind, according to an interview with police authorities.

It is the security situation at the time of the incident.

1. The posture is

Former Prime Minister Abe rushed to a support speech for the candidate for the Upper House election two days after the vote.

I stood at the intersection in front of Yamato-Saidaiji Station in Nara City with candidates.

This place was surrounded by guardrails and was guarded by four police officers, including one SP from the Metropolitan Police Department.

Of these, SP is wary of many audiences ahead while watching the former Prime Minister.

Also, two police officers were watching the audience in the same direction as the former Prime Minister's eyes.

Of the four people who were nearby, three guarded mainly in front of the venue, and the remaining one police officer was mainly in charge of guarding behind the former Prime Minister.

2. Suspect approaching at that time

Former Prime Minister Abe began his speech at around 11:30 am.

Soon after, Yamagami, who was standing on the sidewalk diagonally behind, went out onto the road and started walking.

At this time, there was another move.

It was confirmed that a man was pushing a dolly and crossing right behind the former Prime Minister.

The police officer who was in charge of the rear was distracted by this man and said he was chasing him with his eyes.

Meanwhile, another police officer was guarding the sidewalk on which Yamagami was initially standing.

However, he was wary of looking over the entire venue, so he was unaware that the suspect had stepped out onto the road.

In addition, none of the police officers were on the inside of the guardrail and on the outside roadway.

In this way, Yamagami gradually approached without anyone noticing the suspicious movement.

The first launch was made at a distance of approximately 7 meters from the former Prime Minister.

3. Response after launch

After the first launch, SP and others tried to protect the former Prime Minister by putting out a protective plate.

However, since the SP stood at a distance from the former Prime Minister, he could not take any action to cover the former Prime Minister or make him take a low position.

About 2 seconds later.

Yamagami further reduced the distance by about 2 meters and launched the second shot.

Police officers in charge of forward and backward guards have seized the suspect, but police officials say the second launch was fatal to the former Prime Minister.

Also, the guards of VIPs usually have cars waiting nearby so that they can evacuate in the event of an attack, but this time they were parked in a remote location and were not well prepared.

The rearward alert that emerged as a problem with this security and the response after the first launch.

Verification is required to prevent the same situation from repeating.

Former National Police Agency Security Bureau Chief "Clean up the problem and verify it"

Kiyotaka Takahashi, a former police chief who has been involved in the security department for about 20 years, including serving as the chief of the National Police Agency's security bureau, said, "It's a shame that an irreparable situation has occurred. The mission of protecting lives and personality could not be fulfilled at all, it was a complete failure, and there were various problems. "

1. First, I mentioned the selection of the place where the speech was given as a problem.

Former police chief Takahashi said, "I felt very uncomfortable. The scene is exposed to the surroundings 360 degrees, and there is a road right behind the speech table. There is a risk of being attacked by a car." He pointed out that it was necessary to take measures to narrow the range of caution, such as installing a board behind.

On top of that, "When we give a street speech all over the country in the wake of the incident, we should thoroughly check whether it is really safe. Not only the police, but also politicians and political party branches should agree and review each other. It is necessary, "he said, and the National Police Agency expressed the idea that certain standards should be set for the police in each prefecture.

2. Next, he said that there was also a problem with the placement of police officers.

The suspect walked on the road from diagonally behind former Prime Minister Abe and said, "As far as I can see the video, there are few police officers who are watching the back. I think it was full of gaps. If police officers were standing not only on the inside of the guard rail, but also on the outside and on the side of the road, which the former Prime Minister was speaking, he could rush immediately without crossing the guard rail, and that kind of positioning and posture was necessary. " I'm pointing out.

3. We also point out problems with the response of police officers.

Former police chief Takahashi said, "The suspect is completely suspicious when he gets out of the sidewalk and must be stopped. The biggest challenge is that he couldn't do that."

And, regarding the movement immediately after the suspect's first launch, "SP has a role to live and protect the guarded person and must be closest, but if it was not seen recently. If so, I think we could have taken actions such as having the former Prime Minister lie down, "he said, saying that the response should be verified.

4. A number of issues that emerge.

On the other hand, unlike the times when the security struggle and the student movement were fierce, the police need to be flexible in their security.

Former police chief Takahashi said, "Although the number of demonstrations is decreasing, on the contrary, it is an era to protect important people and facilities from invisible enemies such as terrorism and suspects in this case, and security We are entering a difficult era with a change in the method of

What is Tetsuya Yamagami?

[Family of 5]

Tetsuya Yamagami is a family of 5 parents, an older brother, and a younger sister, and his parents' house ran a construction company.

However, according to his uncle, his father died in 1984 at the age of four.

The suspect's brother also died about eight years ago.

[Graduated from junior high school (1996)]

I attended elementary and junior high schools in Nara city, and at junior high school I belonged to the basketball club.

A man who was a junior high school classmate and belonged to the same basketball club said, "I think he was a type who can handle everything smoothly and was in the top ranks in both study and club activities. It didn't come off and wasn't isolated. "

[Graduated from high school (1999)]

After graduating, I went to one of the prefecture's leading high schools and belonged to a cheering party.

A high school classmate said, "I was an honor student type who was quiet and inconspicuous in the class, and I had no troubles in the school. I have been a member of the school cheering party since the first grade and at sports club competitions etc. I came to cheer. I remember being surprised at the gap between the quiet appearance in the classroom. "

[Dropped out of a vocational school and went to the Maritime Self-Defense Force (1999-2002)] According

to my uncle, after graduating from high school, I will not go on to university but will enter a vocational school aiming to be a civil servant.

I took a firefighting recruitment test, but failed, and then joined the Maritime Self-Defense Force.

According to Ministry of Defense officials, the suspect had been in the Maritime Self-Defense Force for three years from August 2002 to August 2005.

[His mother went bankrupt (2002)]

On the other hand, in 2002, when he joined the Maritime Self-Defense Force, his mother went bankrupt.

According to her uncle, her mother joined a religious group in 1991 and made a total donation of 100 million yen through the life insurance money of her deceased father and the sale of real estate at home. is.

On the other hand, the religious group said that the exact date and amount of the donation from the mother had not yet been reached. We continued to refund 300,000 to 400,000 yen every month for about 10 years, and a total of 50 million yen was refunded. There is no fact that the mother donated more to our corporation for the refunded 50 million yen. "And so on.

The suspect attempted suicide in 2005 when he was a member of the Maritime Self-Defense Force.

At that time, he explained to the Maritime Self-Defense Force about the reason for the attempted suicide, saying, "My life was messed up by a religious group. is.

It is believed that the suspect made a statement to the effect that "family life was messed up" in the investigation after the arrest, and thought that the religious group and former Prime Minister Abe had a close relationship and caused the case. ..

[Dispatch, etc. (2014)]

After that, when a relative related person met about eight years ago, the suspect said that he was "working at a dispatch company."

[Dispatched labor company (2020)] From

October, I started loading and unloading products with a forklift as a dispatched employee at a factory in Kyoto prefecture.

The resume submitted to the dispatching company included a career history of changing part-time jobs and dispatching jobs.

It was stated that he had obtained qualifications related to surveying, qualifications for trading residential land and buildings, and qualifications for finance and taxation related to household finances.

According to the people involved in the factory in Kyoto prefecture, where I was dispatched, there was no problem with my working attitude for the first six months, and I had a good impression.

However, after that, there were conspicuous cases where the work was not performed according to the procedure or the product was handled roughly, and in January there was a dispute with the truck driver, and by the end of March it was strong against colleagues. He repeatedly collided with the surroundings, such as refuting with his tone.

Then, absenteeism began to increase from the beginning of April, and in late April he declared to the company that he wanted to retire due to poor physical condition, and he retired in mid-May.

A factory official said, "It seems that no one in the company had a close relationship with the suspect. I was very surprised when I heard about the incident. Violence should not solve things. I think it is. "

Suspect's lawyer "just defend"

Before 4:00 pm on the 15th, a national lawyer visited the Nara Nishi Police Station, where Tetsuya Yamagami (41) was detained, and met with the suspect.

After that, a lawyer who was interviewed by the press said, "I can't say anything to complete my duties, but I have good communication." I just defend it. "

Regarding Yamagami's physical condition, he said, "I can't say anything wrong."

Suspect's psychology Psychiatrist analyzes

Tamami Katada, a psychiatrist who is familiar with criminal psychology, said about the suspect, "As a result of living a harsh life, a distorted sense of privilege that" even if it is not allowed by ordinary people, it is allowed by myself "was born. It may have led to the incident. "

According to Mr. Katada's analysis of what has been reported so far, "There is a testimony that I was very good in junior high school and high school, but my life did not go well after graduation, and I have been in a stable job for the past 20 years. It is said that he was not able to get a job. While he was dissatisfied with "I will not be rewarded even if I try my best", I made a grudge against a religious group whose mother was devoted to making a large donation, but approached the representative. It was difficult to do so, so it is thought that the psychology of "replacement" that turned the brunt to another object worked. "

"As far as I can see in the press, the suspect has lived a harsh life, so he said,'I was so painful and unfairly disadvantaged that I couldn't forgive myself. It may have led to the incident, which created a distorted sense of privilege that "only is forgiven."

Regarding the relationship with the indiscriminate murder cases that have occurred in recent years, "This time, although the shape is different, the suspect was isolated with strong frustration, and had a feeling of despair, helplessness, and a desire for revenge. It is common in that. "

On top of that, Mr. Katada said, "In modern times, the community and the family community are collapsing, and there are conspicuous situations where no one can help in case of trouble. It is possible that the suspect was isolated and bored. It's expensive, but if you don't have someone to talk to, you don't have the opportunity to hear the opinions, thoughts, and feelings of others, so it's easy to get into a narrow field of vision, and you may have become entrenched in your desire for revenge. I think it is necessary to take measures such as calling, watching over, and introducing a consultation desk. "

Novelist Jin Mayama "Background of the incident You need to look calmly"

Jin Mayama, a former newspaper reporter and novelist who has worked on many social works, said, "In Japan, which is not a gun society, it was difficult to accept the fact that an experienced prime minister would encounter an incident at first. On the other hand, there was also a social mood that this might happen someday. Especially because the younger generation felt stuffy, magma of things like obstruction, anger, and dissatisfaction became the undercurrent of society. It's been around for a long time. From the perspective of people who write things while looking at society, I've been thinking that it's an unpleasant mood for the past 10 years, so I felt that it was here now. " ..

On the other hand, "I have the impression that a huge amount of information is coming out and jumping too much in the short time. The shock of the influential former Prime Minister being shot and dying is great. It's no wonder that many people, including the media, want to know "why", but at least when it comes to the information they're presenting, it's clearly a personal, in a sense, a grudge against the crime. No, but if you look at it a little more, you have to be a little careful that all that information is available, "he said, pointing out that it is necessary to calmly look at the background of the incident.

He said that it would be difficult to conclude the cause and background of the incident in just one week, and he said, "Now, instead of being swayed by a lot of information, how can we prevent such an incident from happening again? Or, I think we should take the time to ask ourselves what we have to look at in this case. "

Psychiatric expert "Watch out for video viewing at the time of the incident"

In the case of the death of former Prime Minister Abe, many videos and images at that time were transmitted on TV and SNS, and some of them did not give consideration to image processing and alerting when viewing. , There are voices on the Internet worried about the impact on children, such as "children are shocked to see".

Regarding this, Professor Atsushi Shigemura of the Faculty of Health Sciences, Mejiro University, a psychiatrist, said that reporting the incident was of great significance, and especially for young children, repeatedly watching the video at that time caused strong anxiety. He points out that there is a risk of feeling afraid of going out.

According to Professor Shigemura, to prevent children from repeatedly seeing these images, when watching TV or smartphones, try to have adults with them as much as possible, and how the children feel about the incident. It means that you can think about it as a countermeasure, such as listening to the story.

Professor Shigemura said, "If a familiar person suddenly dies, the impact will be greater because it is easy to embrace emotions. Especially on SNS etc., adults may unintentionally see the image, so adults should be careful. It is necessary for the sender to be alerted before the video and to narrow down the audio. "
