Tetsuya Yamagami, the killer of Shinzo Abe, had no intention of attacking the former Japanese prime minister, according to Kyodo News, which cited police sources. Yamagami intended to attack the leader of a religious group he believed had cheated his mother, it said. Interestingly, the shooter did not attempt to flee after shooting Abe twice at close range with a handmade shotgun.
