Former Japan prime minister Shinzo Abe’s assassination set off strong emotions in Southern California, where the longtime Japanese leader attended USC and last visited in 2015.
“For him to be shot, it was quite shocking,” said David Ikegami, president of the Little Tokyo Business Association.

Mayor Eric Garcetti. “The Prime Minister visited L.A. in 2015 and we hold fast to his vision for partnership and cooperation throughout the Pacific Rim.”
The shooting has left Fujita wondering why such a thing happened. She was shocked because “Japan and the U.S. are completely different. … The gun control is very strict , so it’s very difficult to get a gun. But they made it – hand-made it. That’s unbelievable.”
