在第一次尝试在美国印度教寺庙开火失败后,这名19岁的青年并未放弃,转而上网搜索修复步枪的方法。然而,一次给他塔可钟同事的电话最终起到了关键作用。
After his first attempt to open fire at the US Hindu temple failed, the 19-year-old did not give up and searched the internet for ways to fix the rifle. However, a call to his Taco Bell co-worker eventually proved crucial.
19岁的亚历山德罗斯·帕帕拉基斯只差一支故障步枪,就可能成为大规模枪手,在芝加哥最大的印度教寺庙制造屠杀。即使第一次尝试失败,这名婴儿肥脸的少年仍未放弃,转而上网搜索修复步枪的方法。然而,一次给他塔可钟同事的电话最终起到了关键作用。该电话暴露了帕帕拉基斯“杀死大量印度人”的计划,他最终被捕。
Nineteen-year-old Alexandros Paporakis was one malfunctioning rifle away from becoming a mass shooter and inflicting a massacre at the largest Hindu temple in Chicago. Even after his first attempt failed, the baby-faced teen did not give up and searched the internet for ways to fix the rifle. However, a call to his Taco Bell co-worker eventually proved crucial. It exposed Paporakis's plan to "kill a significant number of Indians", and he was eventually arrested.
检方表示,帕帕拉基斯在塔可钟门店担任收银员,心怀对南亚人的仇恨,尤其是印度人。他甚至曾大胆告诉同事,自己“等不及要杀死印度人”。然而,当时他的言论并未被当真。
Prosecutors said Paporakis, who works as a cashier at a Taco Bell outlet, harboured a hatred for South Asians, especially Indians. He even boldly told his co-workers previously that he "couldn't wait to kill Indian people". However, his words were not taken seriously then.
美国青年计划“杀死几名印度人”10月11日(周日),帕帕拉基斯身着战术装备,携带一支AR式步枪和约300发弹药驱车前往寺庙。美国媒体报道称,斯里文卡特斯瓦拉·斯瓦米·巴拉吉神庙——芝加哥最大的印度教寺庙——是可能的目标。
US TEEN PLANNED TO 'KILL SEVERAL INDIANS' On October 11 (Sunday), Paporakis, in tactical gear, drove to the temple heavily armed with an AR-style rifle and around 300 rounds of ammunition. US media reports said the Sri Venkateswara Swami Balaji Temple, the largest Hindu temple in Chicago, was the likely target.
这名自称“白人至上主义新纳粹”的美国青年,很可能选择周日实施大规模伤亡。当天,几名印度裔美国人在纳瓦拉特里节第一天之前聚集在寺庙。
The US teen, who described himself as a "white supremacist Neo-Nazi", likely chose a Sunday to inflict mass casualties. Several Indian-Americans had gathered at the temple that day ahead of the first day of Navratri.
然而,当帕帕拉基斯试图开火时,步枪卡壳,据法庭文件所示。调查人员表示,若步枪未发生故障,他本可造成可怕的破坏。
However, when Paporakis tried to fire the rifle, the weapon jammed, as per court filings. Investigators said that had the rifle not malfunctioned, he would have been able to wreak terrible havoc.
帕帕拉基斯仍未放弃计划。相反,他驱车前往其母亲在帕拉廷的住所——大约40英里外——并上网搜索解卡步枪的方法。美国青年的计划是如何被挫败的?
Paporakis still did not drop his plan. Instead, he drove to his mother's residence in Palatine, around 40 miles away, and searched the internet to learn of ways to unjam a rifle. HOW US TEEN'S PLAN WAS FOILED?
与此同时,他给塔可钟的一位同事发了短信,让他打电话。当同事给他打电话时,帕帕拉基斯透露了他的计划,说明他的步枪卡壳了,以及他“超快”地离开了寺庙。
At the same time, he texted a co-worker from Taco Bell and asked him to call. When the co-worker called him, Paporakis disclosed his plan, how his rifle had jammed and that he left the temple "super-fast".
他还通过Signal给同事发了短信,发送了步枪的图片和一段视频,显示他在扣动扳机时武器未能发射。他还发送了一张自己穿着战术背心的照片。
He also texted the co-worker on Signal, sent images of the rifle and a video showing the weapon failing to fire when he pulled the trigger. He also sent a photograph of himself wearing a tactical vest.
帕帕拉基斯还告诉同事,他很幸运没有被发现,因为他是在车内开火的。
Paporakis also told his co-worker that he was lucky not to be spotted, as he had fired while inside his car.
根据Fox32的报道,这名青少年进一步告诉同事,他不相信神的干预,但他所针对的那个人“今天肯定是被他的上帝救了”。
According to a report in Fox32, the teenager further told his colleague that he didn't believe in divine intervention, but the man whom he had targeted was "certainly saved by his God today".
在聊天过程中,帕帕拉基斯还发送了一份他关于策划袭击的八页宣言的副本。该宣言后来在警方对他住所的搜查中被发现。
During the chat, Paporakis also sent a copy of his eight-page manifesto regarding the proposed attack. The manifesto was later recovered by the police during a search at his residence.
在这份宣言中,帕帕拉基斯自称为“奥罗拉枪手”,并描述了他是如何获得改装的AR式步枪的,以及他是如何利用YouTube和谷歌街景来锁定寺庙目标的。他进一步写道,他已经策划这次袭击近两年,并在两个月前选定了目标。
In it, Paporakis identified himself as the 'Aurora Shooter' and described how he obtained the modified AR-style rifle and how he zeroed on the temple using YouTube and Google Street View. He further wrote that he had been planning the attack for nearly two years and selected the target two months ago.
宣言中还包括了他对印度人、犹太人、非裔美国人及其他非白人社区的仇恨内容。帕帕拉基斯将他们描述为“次人类”,并写道他计划尽可能多地杀死他们。
The manifesto also included writings about his hatred towards Indians, Jews, African Americans and other non-white communities. Paporakis described them as "subhumans" and wrote about a plan to kill as many of them as possible.
他还描述自己是一名“白人至上主义新纳粹”,每天幻想“大规模屠杀”,据NBC芝加哥报道。
He also described himself as a "white supremacist Neo-Nazi" who fantasised about "mass murders" every day, according to a report in NBC Chicago.
现在,回到帕帕拉基斯打电话之后发生的事情。这证明是至关重要的。同事和另一位同事立即拨打了911,向警方透露了帕帕拉基斯的情况。这名青少年在当天晚上就被逮捕,在他返回寺庙之前。关于亚历山德罗斯·帕帕拉基斯我们了解什么?
Now, coming back to what unfolded after Paporakis's call. It proved to be crucial. The co-worker and another colleague immediately dialled 911, tipping off the police about Paporakis. The teen was arrested the same day in the evening, before he could return to the temple. WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT ALEXANDROS PAPORAKIS?
关于帕帕拉基斯的细节非常少。他被指控制造恐怖威胁和非法持有武器。
There are very scant details about Paporakis. He was been charged with making a terrorist threat and unlawfully possessing a weapon.
目前所知的是,他在阿灵顿高地的一家塔可钟餐厅担任收银员工作了七个月。他的同事表示,他持有极端主义观点,并且他们听到他谈论纳粹意识形态和暴力,美国媒体报道如是说。
What we know is that he worked as a cashier at a Taco Bell outlet in Arlington Heights for seven months. His co-workers said he held extremist views and heard him talking about Nazi ideology and violence, US media reports said.
法庭文件还透露,帕帕拉基斯存在心理和情感问题。据NBC芝加哥报道,他正在接受多动症、抑郁症和焦虑症的治疗,并接受激素注射以进行性别转换。
Court documents also reveal that Paporakis suffered from mental and emotional issues. Paporakis was being treated for ADHD, depression, anxiety, and received hormone injections for gender transition, the NBC Chicago report said.
