Mourners streamed into a temple in Tokyo to pay their respects to former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Monday.

Abe was gunned down during a campaign event on Friday morning, in an attack decried by the political establishment as an attack on democracy itself. Abe’s shooting shocked a nation where political violence and gun crime are relatively rare.

Abe was rushed to a Nara hospital following the shooting but did not regain consciousness and was pronounced dead five and a half hours after the late-morning attack.

A private funeral for Abe, who resigned in 2020 and was Japan’s longest-serving modern leader, is scheduled for Tuesday.
