The shooting suspect was arrested by police, who said he admitted to shooting Abe." https://www.cnn.com/asia/live-news/shinzo-abe-japan-pm-collapses-nara-07-08-22-intl-hnk/index.html Please email thefabpodcast@gmail.com with your "Stranger Than Fiction" stories so we can share them on the show or let us know what you agreed or disagreed with us on from the show!!
