米凯拉·舒特勒 晚间在佐治亚州农村一处住宅发生潜在的谋杀自杀事件,导致四名受害者和枪手死亡。官员表示,遇害者是枪手的成年家庭成员,枪手自杀身亡。他们在道格拉斯市郊的家中被发现,该市是一个小城市,位于亚特兰大东南约200英里处。
MIKELLA SCHUETTLER Four victims and the shooter have died following a potential murder-suicide in a rural Georgia home late Friday night. Officials say those involved were adult family members of the shooter, who died by suicide. They were found in the family’s home on the outskirts of Douglas, a small city roughly 200 miles southeast of Atlanta.
“调查人员认为这是一起涉及住在该住宅内的直系家庭成员的明显谋杀自杀事件,”道格拉斯警察局长布兰嫩·普鲁特在周六的新闻发布会上表示。
“Investigators believe this was an apparent murder-suicide involving immediate family members who reside in the home,” said Douglas Police Chief Brannen Pruette during a news conference on Saturday.
警方在接到一名受害者的紧急呼叫后于周五晚上11点左右到达现场,发现一名女子仍存活。该女子被送往附近医院后被宣布不治身亡,使死亡人数升至五人。
Officers responded to an emergency call made by one of the victims shortly after 11 p.m. and found a woman alive at the scene. After transport to a nearby hospital, she was pronounced dead, raising the death toll to five.
当天早些时候,警方确认该女子此前曾另行拨打紧急电话,呼叫警方前往该住宅。
Earlier in the day, police confirmed that woman made another emergency call and summoned officers to the house.
“据我了解,该电话是由妻子——即女性受害者——拨打的。她致电并抱怨丈夫在屋内抽烟,她说他正用烟雾杀死她,”普鲁特说道。道格拉斯警方尚未回应要求提供更多信息的电子邮件和电话。
“It’s my understanding the call was placed by the wife, the female victim. She called, and was complaining about the husband who was in the house smoking and she said he was killing her with the smoke,” Pruette said. Douglas Police have not responded to emails and calls requesting more information.
