According to CCTV News, the suspect is a man, in his 40s and named Shiya Yamakami.

According to the latest news from Japan's Asahi Shimbun, police related personnel said that the gun used by the suspect Abe was made of homemade firearms, the body of the gun was in a barrel shape and was fixed with tape. According to Japanese media "Modern Business" on the 8th, the black homemade gun used by the attackers may be made for 3D printers.
According to Beijing News , it is reported that it is easy for ordinary people to make guns through 3D printers. Japan's "3D Data Utilization Society" Chairman Xiang Motor also said that this technology is not difficult, "If you have the knowledge and technology at the level of industrial colleges and universities, you can make it." However, the source of the ammunition used by the suspect is a mystery. Xiangmo also believes that it is very difficult to make ammunition because the materials are chemicals, which are difficult for ordinary people to buy.
According to the Global Times, although Japanese police previously stated that the murderer used a "pistol", multiple scene pictures and multiple scene videos showed that the gun used by the murderer did not look like a traditional pistol, and the gun was more powerful. Military expert Bai Mengchen said in an interview with reporters that if the photos and videos currently leaked at the scene are accurate, the murderer used more like a shotgun with sawn off the stock than a pistol. Because generally speaking, shotguns present the characteristics of double barrels juxtaposition, each barrel has a simple firing needle/maul structure. Judging from the live shooting video, the gunshots and smoke after shooting are obviously more like smoothbore weapons, so the probability of being shotguns is very high.
Bai Mengchen pointed out that from the perspective of the gunman, shotgun has a "billiard ball effect", which does not require the gunman to have a particularly accurate shooting technique. He only needs to shoot in the target direction, and he will most likely be able to hit. For example, using No. 10 or No. 12 Deer Bullet , two shotguns have more than ten steel balls, which is enough to cause a great killing effect.
In addition, Bai Mengchen also pointed out that the gunman should have a related training background. Homemade weapons can not only avoid on-site security, but also ensure the success rate of assassination. The murderer used the grip of the pistol instead of the stock that is usually used by the shotgun. This design shortens the length of the entire gun, making it easier for the murderer to hide his weapons and break through security inspections to bring them to the scene. "So the murderer is likely to be prepared and has some understanding of the on-site environment."

According to Xiaoxiang Morning News, Japanese Ministry of Defense sources said that Yamakami is also a former member of the Maritime Self-Defense Force whose term expired in 2005.
