六名成年人和六名未成年人受伤,除一人外均为枪伤,枪击发生在佛罗里达农工大学(FAMU)塔拉哈西校区附近。
Six adults and six minors were injured, all but one with gunshot wounds, in the gunfire near the Florida Agricultural + Mechanical University (Famu) campus in Tallahassee.
根据枪支暴力档案库的数据,这是周末发生的五起大规模枪击案之一——即至少四名受害者受伤或死亡的案件。该档案库是一个非党派资源,迄今已记录今年美国发生的386起此类案件。
It was among five mass shootings over the weekend – cases in which at least four victims were wounded or killed, according to the Gun Violence Archive. The archive, a nonpartisan resource, has recorded 386 such cases in the US for the year so far.
周一,塔拉哈西警察局发帖称,侦探在两天前逮捕了佛农大枪击案的一名嫌疑人。该机构确认嫌疑人为15岁的安东尼·里弗斯三世。
On Monday, the Tallahassee police department posted on that detectives had arrested a suspect in the Famu shooting two days earlier. The agency identified the suspect as Anthony Rivers III, 15.
警方通常不公布未成年犯罪嫌疑人的身份,但鉴于里弗斯面临指控的严重性,他成为例外。警方称,他在周日被捕后,面临11项二级谋杀未遂指控和一项少年犯持有枪支指控。
Police do not typically identify criminal suspects who are minors, though the severity of the charges facing Rivers made him an exception. He faces 11 charges of attempted second-degree murder and one of possession of a firearm by a delinquent after being arrested on Sunday, police said.
塔拉哈西警察局局长劳伦斯·雷维尔在声明中表示,对周六枪击案的调查仍在进行中,可能会有进一步逮捕行动。
Tallahassee police chief Lawrence Revell said in a statement that the investigation into Saturday’s shooting was ongoing, and further arrests were possible.
雷维尔说:“本应是我们社区庆祝的周末,却变成了受害者及其家人恐惧和暴力的夜晚。”
“What should have been a weekend of celebration in our community instead became a night of fear and violence for the victims and their families,” Revell said.
“虽然这次逮捕标志着一个重要的进展,但我们的工作远未结束。我们依然致力于追究责任人的责任,并为每一个受这场悲剧影响的家庭寻求答案。”该部门早些时候表示,三名受害者伤势严重,其中一人在医院处于危急状态。该机构称,另有九人遭受枪伤——还有一人在试图逃离枪击时扭伤了脚踝。
“While this arrest marks a significant step forward, our work is far from over. We remain committed to holding those responsible accountable and getting answers for every family [affected] by this tragedy.”The department earlier said three of the victims were seriously wounded, with one in critical condition in the hospital. Nine others had gunshot wounds, the agency said – and another person injured an ankle as they attempted to escape the gunfire.
枪击发生在周六晚8点前不久,地点在大学布拉格体育场附近的一个路口,当时一场返校橄榄球赛刚刚结束。雷维尔说,警员迅速赶到现场,在人群中将部分伤者抬送至安全地带。
The shooting took place just before 8pm on Saturday at an intersection near the university’s Bragg stadium, where a homecoming football game had just ended. Officers were on the scene quickly and carried some of those injured to safety through a mass of people, Revell said.
据警方称,里弗斯在两群互相认识的人发生争执后开枪。雷维尔说,据信被击中者均非预定目标。
According to police, Rivers opened fire after an altercation between two groups of people who were known to each other. None of those struck was believed to have been an intended target, Revell said.
雷维尔周日感谢站出来提供枪击案及其事发后现场手机视频的社区成员,他表示这些视频“对调查工作至关重要”。
Revell on Sunday thanked members of the community who had come forward with cellphone video of the shooting and its aftermath, which he said was “vital to investigative efforts”.
佛罗里达农工大学校长马尔瓦·约翰逊周日发布视频讲话,谴责前一晚“毫无意义且卑鄙”的暴力行为。
Famu president Marva Johnson posted a video message on Sunday condemning the “senseless and despicable” violence of the night before.
“作为邻居和社区合作伙伴,我们将全力协助塔拉哈西警察局,”她说。“我们的骄傲、我们的身份和我们的未来,不会由我们面临的挑战来定义,而将由我们如何共同应对这些挑战来定义。”
“As a neighbor and community partner, we are providing our full assistance to the Tallahassee police department,” she said. “Our pride, our identity, and our future will not be defined by the challenges we face, but how we respond to them together.”
