Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe shot while delivering speech in Japan

Japan's former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot as he gave a campaign speech on Friday in western Japan and airlifted to a hospital. Local fire department official Makoto Morimoto said Abe was in cardio and pulmonary arrest, or CPA, meaning he was not breathing and his heart stopped during the airlift.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno told reporters that police had arrested a male suspect at the scene of the attack. 

"A barbaric act like this is absolutely unforgivable, no matter what the reasons are, and we condemn it strongly," Matsuno said.
