Regarding the completion of the investigation of Tetsuya Yamagami, who was indicted for murder in the shooting of former Prime Minister Abe, Chief of the National Police Agency Yasuhiro Tsuyuki said at a regular press conference on the 16th, "Democracy. First of all, I have to say that this is a cowardly barbaric act that took place in the midst of a fundamental election."
On top of that, the lessons learned from the incident were:
▽We allowed an attack from behind, where the police were not vigilant enough, and we should fundamentally review our security to prevent it from happening again
. Strengthen crackdowns on the sale and manufacture of guns on the Internet, assuming that
guns can be stolen, and strengthen information gathering on the Internet as a countermeasure against lone offenders, who are called “lone wolves.” And so on.
