According to this article, the Ise Police are speculating that it was a misfire. The shotgun was found just outside the driver's side of the car, with traces of powder in the immediate vicinity, and traces of shot were found inside the vehicle leading up to the roof. It is conceivable that the deceased was, indeed, shooting at crows from inside his vehicle, since it would given him both cover from the crows and protection from the cold. This is Japan, after all, and such a thing would not be unheard of here. The driver's door was open when Mr. Uemura was found.
