According to the report, at the time of the incident on the 8th, Abe, who was giving a street speech, stood in the middle of the road surrounded by guardrails. Among the four dignitaries dispatched from the Metropolitan Police Department (Tokyo Police), one is specially responsible for guarding Abe’s rear. In addition, the Nara Prefectural Police also dispatched dozens of police officers to participate in the security of the scene, but most of them were paying attention to the front of Abe, who had gathered in the audience.
