Yamagami, 42, has already been indicted over murder and other charges in the incident in which Abe was fatally shot when delivering a stump speech in Nara.
As fertiliser and other materials used to make gunpowder were also found, the police deemed that Yamagami violated laws by making a gun and damaging a building by test-firing it. Based on footage from security cameras in the vicinity and other factors, the police charged Yamagami on suspicion of damaging the building.
