Japan's former premier Shinzo Abe - one of the nation's most powerful and influential figures - has died after he was shot while delivering a campaign speech.
Doctors confirmed his death on Friday several hours after he was airlifted to hospital fighting for his life.
Mr Abe, 67, was shot from behind minutes after he started addressing a crowd outside a train station in the western Japanese city of Nara on Friday morning.
He was not breathing and his heart stopped as he went into cardiac arrest while being airlifted to Nara Medical University Hospital, said officials.
