當(dāng)?shù)貢r間11月30日，美國密歇根州底特律市附近牛津高中的15歲學(xué)生伊桑•克倫布利開槍打死四名同學(xué)、打傷七人，他目前面臨多項重罪指控。
School bells were replaced by police sirens last Tuesday after a shooting at Michigan's Oxford High School left four students dead. Seven other students and a teacher were wounded by gunfire. A 15-year-old suspect is in custody and has been charged as an adult, authorities said.
12月1日，15歲的嫌疑人克倫布利被控4項一級謀殺罪、1項恐怖主義致死罪、7項蓄意謀殺攻擊罪以及11項持械重罪。
The 15-year-old suspect accused of killing four students in an Oxford, Michigan, school was charged – as an adult – with four counts of first-degree murder and terrorism, among other charges.
事發(fā)學(xué)校監(jiān)控視頻顯示，11月30日午間克倫布利持槍“有條不紊、從容地”走過學(xué)校大樓走廊，并對準(zhǔn)學(xué)生開槍。
CNN報道稱，當(dāng)時有學(xué)生曾使用剪刀自衛(wèi)，另有學(xué)生從教學(xué)樓的窗戶逃生。
警方從現(xiàn)場發(fā)現(xiàn)了一些彈殼，推斷事發(fā)時嫌疑人開了15-20槍。目前，案件仍在進一步調(diào)查中，犯罪嫌疑人的作案動機尚未明確。
Authorities recovered multiple shell casings in the school and believe around 15-20 shots were fired. The sheriff's office is still investigating the incident and have not shared the motive for the deadly shooting.
為何15歲的學(xué)生會有槍？槍從何而來？在事件發(fā)生后，不少美媒關(guān)注到這些問題。
當(dāng)?shù)貢r間3日，密歇根州奧克蘭縣檢方對伊桑•克倫布利的父母詹姆斯•克倫布利和詹妮弗•克倫布利提起“非自愿過失殺人”的指控。據(jù)CNN報道，槍手使用的槍支為其父親在事發(fā)前幾日購買的。
James and Jennifer Crumbley were charged last Friday with four counts each of homicide involuntary manslaughter following the deadly school shooting. Oakland County prosecutor Karen McDonald said James Crumbley bought the gun four days before it was used in the shooting.
槍擊案發(fā)生的當(dāng)晚，克倫布利的父母以安全為由離開居住地，兩人的律師聲稱此舉并非逃跑。美國法警局、奧克蘭縣逃犯搜尋隊、底特律警察局等部門開展搜捕，并于4日清晨將他們逮捕。
Two attorneys working with Jennifer and James Crumbley said the couple left town on the night of the shooting “for their own safety” and are not fleeing.They were arrested Saturday in Detroit after an hours-long search, authorities said.
檢察官卡倫•麥克唐納3日表示，對嫌疑人父母的指控意在傳遞這樣的信息：槍支擁有者應(yīng)對其槍支負(fù)責(zé)，如未能履行這一責(zé)任，就應(yīng)對所造成的悲劇承擔(dān)刑事后果。
"I want to be really clear that these charges are intended to hold the individuals who contributed to this tragedy accountable," Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald said, "and also send a message that gun owners have a responsibility."
檢方認(rèn)為，槍手父母對槍支保管不善、對兒子可能的犯罪跡象視而不見，因此應(yīng)該對悲劇的發(fā)生負(fù)有責(zé)任。據(jù)CNN援引檢方材料，在事發(fā)前一天，老師發(fā)現(xiàn)伊桑•克倫布利用手機上網(wǎng)搜索“彈藥”后聯(lián)系家長，但是卻沒有得到回應(yīng)。其母親隨后曾給兒子發(fā)信息：我不會生氣的，你要學(xué)著別被（老師）抓到。而在事發(fā)當(dāng)天，還有老師看到克倫布利一張“自動手槍和子彈的圖畫”，在手槍和子彈之間畫了一個人，似乎身中兩槍在流血，而子彈上則寫著“到處是血”。畫上還畫有一個笑臉的表情，并且寫著：“我的人生毫無用處”“這個世界死了”。
4日上午，詹姆斯和詹妮弗在獄中通過視頻方式出席奧克蘭縣法院的傳訊，兩人對“非自愿過失殺人”的指控表示“不認(rèn)罪”。法官將詹姆斯和詹妮弗每人的保釋金額裁定為50萬美元，而伊桑則是不允許被保釋的。
美議員全家福槍照引發(fā)爭議
當(dāng)?shù)貢r間2日，《芝加哥太陽日報》發(fā)文《尋求槍支暴力方案》，其中寫道：“無休止的槍支暴力報道令人麻木……我們每天都需要呼吁對此的解決方案。美國槍支暴力的悲劇堪比災(zāi)難，這在其他高收入國家是看不到的。美國學(xué)校不安全，美國街道也不安全。”
The never-ending news reports of gun violence are numbing……We should cry out — every day — for solutions. The tragic level of gun violence in America is a scourge that exists in no other high-income nation. No American school is safe. Nor are the streets.
新華社報道，美國媒體一般將“大規(guī)模槍擊”定義為除槍手外4人或4人以上中槍的槍擊事件——有統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)顯示，在過去的20年中，美國是世界上唯一一個每年都發(fā)生大規(guī)模槍擊事件的發(fā)達國家。同時，美國也是發(fā)達國家中涉槍兇殺率最高的國家。2019年，美國每10萬人就有四人死于槍支暴力，這一比率較其他發(fā)達國家的平均水平高出了17倍。
然而，就在美國媒體發(fā)出呼吁控槍，密歇根槍擊案仍令人膽寒之際，美國一名議員卻發(fā)布了一張全家“荷槍實彈”的圣誕節(jié)全家福照片，此舉引發(fā)廣泛批評。在推文的圖片中，他還寫道向圣誕老人要子彈。
US Rep. Thomas Massie is drawing criticism after tweeting a photo of him and his family holding guns in front of a Christmas tree, just days after four teenagers were killed in a school shooting in Michigan. Merry Christmas!, ps. Santa, please bring ammo," read the Saturday tweet by the Republican representative from Kentucky, which showed everyone in the photo holding various types of guns.
據(jù)CNN援引瑞士輕武器調(diào)查項目數(shù)據(jù)顯示，美國是世界上唯一一個民用槍支數(shù)量超過人口數(shù)量的國家，每100名美國人擁有120支槍。
There are 120 guns for every 100 Americans, according to the Switzerland-based Small Arms Survey (SAS). No other nation has more civilian guns than people.
