他是一位现实生活中的“超人”。一段惊心动魄的视频显示,一名英勇的南非父亲在试图保护女儿时,开枪击毙了一名持枪劫车匪,当时这伙歹徒在两人家门外发动了伏击。

He’s a real life Superman. A heroic South African dad fatally shot an armed carjacker while trying to protect his daughter after the gang ambushed the pair outside their home, dramatic video shows.

据南非阿非利卡语媒体《Maroela Media》周四报道,10月9日,西德尼·希尔正从位于皮内镇的家中驾车驶出,刚准备汇入车流,这伙所谓的劫车匪便向一家人开火。希尔冷静地拔出枪还击。

Sidney Hill calmly whipped out his gun and fired at the alleged carjackers, who started shooting at the family just as he was pulling out of his Pinetown home on Oct. 9, Afrikaans outlet Maroela Media reported on Thursday. Hill and his daughter, who was sitting in the passenger seat, scanned the road as they edged out of the driveway in their Toyota Hilux and were set to pull out when a white Renault with five people inside stopped in front of his vehicle.

当时,希尔和坐在副驾驶座上的女儿一边观察路况,一边驾驶丰田海拉克斯缓缓驶出车道,准备起步时,一辆载有五人的白色雷诺车停在了他们的车前。两名持枪男子随即冲下车,向希尔父女开火。

Two armed men then rushed out of the vehicle and began shooting at the Hills.

身为德班一家公司运营经理的希尔,从腰间拔出枪,坐在皮卡驾驶座上毫不退缩地还击。

Hill, an operations manager in Durban, pulled the gun out from his side and then returned fire from the driver’s seat of his pickup truck without flinching.

他在倾泻一连串子弹向这伙嚣张歹徒射击时,身体向后倾,似乎是为了掩护女儿,女儿的年龄未予披露。

He leaned back to seemingly protect his daughter, whose age hasn’t been disclosed, as he unleashed a volley of shots into the brazen crew.

据当地媒体报道,事发时希尔正等待儿子关上家里的大门,这家人搬入新居仅四天便遭遇伏击。希尔的汽车挡风玻璃在密集枪声中碎裂,车辆冲前撞上一棵树。

The dad was waiting for his son to close the gate of their home, which they had just moved into four days before the ambush, according to local reports. The windshield of Hill’s car cracked amid the barrage of gunshots and his car went forward and hit a tree.

皮内镇警方发言人保罗·马格瓦扎向《Highway Mail》证实,希尔击毙了匪徒中的一名成员;当地知名安保人员、被誉为“德班超人”的安德烈亚斯·马蒂奥斯赞扬了这位父亲反应迅速、果断。“这个男人是个英雄,”马蒂奥斯说。

Hill fatally shot one of the gang members, Pinetown Police spokesperson Paul Magwaza told the Highway Mail, while Marshall Security official Andreas Mathios, who is known as the “Durban superman” in the local area, hailed the dad for his quick-thinking response. “This man is a hero,” Mathios said.

“他首先凭本能确保家人安全。他始终保持警惕,尽管在遭枪击时回击稍有延迟,但他最终成功还击并消除了威胁。我为他的行为点赞。”这位父亲神射手般的技艺视频在网络疯传——社交媒体观众纷纷敦促南非执法官员、夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省省级警察专员Nhlanhla “Lucky” Sibusiso Mkhwanazi招募他入队。“你就是真正父亲的榜样,”一名观众说道。“他们选错对象了,”另一人抨击这帮笨拙的劫车匪。

“He firstly and instinctively made sure that his family was safe. He was consistently alert, and even though there was some sort of delay in returning fire when he was fired upon at the right time, he managed to return fire and neutralize the threat. I commend him for his actions.”Footage of the dad’s sharpshooting skills have gone viral – with social media viewers urging South African law enforcement official Nhlanhla “Lucky” Sibusiso Mkhwanazi, the provincial police commissioner of the KwaZulu Natal province, to recruit him to his team. “You are the example of what a real dad does,” one viewer said. “They picked a wrong guy,” another said, blasting the bungling carjackers.

“那些孩子肯定受到严重创伤,”第三位评论者说。“一个人不得不经历这种事,实在太血腥、太没必要了。”其他观众指出,希尔在整个磨难过程中没有畏缩。

“Those children must be severely traumatized,” a third commenter said. “It’s so bloody unnecessary that one has to go through this.”Other viewers pointed out that Hill didn’t flinch during the ordeal.

另外四名男子逃离现场,随后已展开两项调查——一项针对谋杀未遂,另一项针对劫车未遂。希尔是否会因还击而被起诉,目前尚不清楚。

The four other men fled the scene and two investigations have since been launched — one for attempted murder and the other for attempted carjacking. It’s unclear if Hill will be charged for retaliating.
