Japan's National Police Agency: The police officers at the scene did not act as required when Abe was shot

Japan's National Police Agency: Abe shot the suspect with a 3-second interval between shots, and the police officers at the scene did not act as required

　　[Global Web Report] According to a report by the Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK) on the 11th, regarding the case of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe being shot and killed while giving a speech on the street on the 8th, the Japanese National Police Agency believes that the police officers on the scene did not follow the Japanese police response guidelines. Further verification is underway in this regard.

　　NHK reported that at the time of the incident on the 8th, the suspect Yamagami Toru also fired two shots at Abe within a few meters.

The Japanese National Police Agency told NHK that there was an interval of nearly 3 seconds between the two shots on the mountain. The National Police Agency believed that the officers on the scene at the time failed to follow the Japanese police guards to protect important people.

　　According to the guidelines, when gunshots are heard, the police at the scene should first let the protection object bend over and surround it, and then immediately transfer it to a safe place such as a vehicle.

　　Regarding the Abe shooting case, Nara Prefectural Police Chief Onizuka Yuzhang admitted at a press conference on the 9th that "it cannot be denied that there was a problem with the security (at the time of the incident)".

Regarding Abe's shooting, he also said: "This is the biggest regret in my more than 27 years of police career, and I am extremely regretful." (author Lin Zeyu)
