华盛顿——警方周一称，一名国民警卫队队员在试图制止首都的一场斗殴时遭枪击受伤；涉嫌开枪的嫌疑人也在与警卫队员的交火中中弹。
WASHINGTON — A National Guard member was shot and injured while trying to break up a fight in the nation’s capital, and the person suspected of firing the gun also was shot in an exchange with guard members, police said Monday.
华盛顿特区大都会警察局临时局长杰弗里·卡罗尔介绍，枪击事件发生于周日晚上11点10分左右。当时，七八名国民警卫队队员正乘坐一辆停着的面包车，监视位于华盛顿东南部东市场街区的人行道上发生的斗殴事件。
The shooting happened at about 11:10 p.m. Sunday as seven or eight guard members in a parked van were monitoring the fight on a sidewalk in southeast Washington, in the Eastern Market neighborhood, said Jeffery Carroll , interim chief of the Metropolitan Police Department of Washington.
“他们听到枪声后立刻下车试图干预，以阻止斗殴继续，”卡罗尔对记者说道，“一名参与斗殴的人员掏出枪来开始射击。”据卡罗尔所述，该嫌疑人随后逃进一条小巷，警卫队员立即命令其放下武器。
“They exited their vehicle to try to intervene to try to stop the fight from occurring when they heard gunshots,” Carroll told reporters. “An individual that had been involved in the fight had pulled out a firearm and began shooting.”The person ran into an alley, Carroll said, and guard members immediately told the person to drop the gun.
“此人随后将枪口对准国民警卫队队员，后者随即开火还击，”卡罗尔说。
“The individual then pointed the weapon toward National Guard members, who returned fire,” Carroll said.
他表示，一名警卫队员腿部中弹，嫌疑人腹部中弹。两人均被送往医院接受治疗，伤势并无生命危险。卡罗尔称，此次交火中有三名警卫队员开枪。嫌疑人随后被逮捕。
He said one guard member was struck in the leg and the suspect was shot in the abdomen. Both were taken to hospitals for treatment for non-life-threatening injuries, he said. Three guard members discharged their guns in the encounter, Carroll said. He said the suspect was arrested.
2025年8月，唐纳德·特朗普总统下令向华盛顿派遣国民警卫队，称此举旨在打击犯罪。夏季期间，驻华盛顿的国民警卫队人数一度达到约5000人，他们协助执行逮捕行动、在市区及居民区巡逻，还参与了环境清理工作。
President Donald Trump deployed the guard to Washington in August 2025 as part of what he said was a crime-fighting mission . The force, which rose to a peak of about 5,000 troops over the summer, has supported arrest operations, patrolled city streets and neighborhoods and participated in cleanup efforts.
特朗普领导的共和党政府称，此次部署促使华盛顿的犯罪率进一步下降——实际上在国民警卫队抵达前该市的犯罪率便已呈下降趋势。然而，在这座以民主党支持者为主的城市的官员、活动人士及居民则认为，此次部署纯属浪费纳税人的钱，还使得美国这座重要城市出现军事化趋势。
Trump’s Republican administration says the deployment has contributed to a decrease in crime in the city, where crime was already on the decline before the guard arrived. Officials, activists and residents in the overwhelmingly Democratic city say the deployment is a waste of taxpayer money and has normalized the militarization of a major American city.
警方正在调查周日晚间的枪击事件。卡罗尔表示，社区没有进一步的威胁，并呼吁任何掌握枪击事件信息的人联系警方。
The police department is investigating the Sunday night shooting. Carroll said there were no further threats to the community and asked for anyone with information on the shooting to contact police.
