The links between Abe and the Unification Church and Reverend Moon go way way back, to Abe's grandfather and PM Kishi, who fostered a political but not religious alliance with the church. In the early Cold War the enemy of my enemy became my friend, and later Abe came to value the block of votes this alliance served up. Abe most certainly fostered the link, providing more than just photo opportunities, but also speeches and other promotional opportunities. He most certainly approved of the use of his image.
In terms of what occurred at the rally itself, two senior officials said some of those in attendance alerted local police to a suspicious person at the event near the security screening area. Police tried to search for him but could not find him in the crowd. A short time later, he was on the roof, the officials said.
Two municipal officers tried to approach the suspect shortly before he opened fire, two senior officials said. New video also showed some of the rallygoers spotting the gunman before the shooting.
