Former Prime Minister and serving member of the House of Representatives, Shinzo Abe, was assassinated on July 8, 2022. He was shot at close range by a person with a handmade gun at a political event in Nara, Japan. Berkeley Mayor, Jesse Arruguin, sent a letter of condolence to the Japanese Consul's office in San Francisco. The Berkeley-Sakai Board forwarded Mayor Arruguin's letter with our own condolences to the City of Berkeley.
