亚特兰大——根据逮捕令，因涉嫌策划在佐治亚州一所高中实施枪击而被捕的三人已获取了该校的平面图，并选定了下个学年初的一天作为作案日期。逮捕令显示，17岁的谢恩·基思·泰勒和21岁的迈克尔·布兰登·特里与一名身份不明的未成年嫌疑人达成协议，由其提供武器，他们还计划了服装，并讨论购买防弹衣、摄像机和作战靴。
ATLANTA — Three people arrested over an alleged plot to carry out a shooting at a Georgia high school had gotten a floor plan of the school and chosen a date to carry it out early next school year, according to arrest warrants. Shane Keith Taylor, 17, and Michael Brandon Terry, 21, had reached an agreement with an unidentified juvenile suspect to provide weapons and had planned outfits and discussed buying body armor, video cameras and combat boots, according to arrest warrants.
他们选定明年8月20日为作案日期，而8月2日开学第一天刚过两周。警方称，这些嫌疑人被指控策划在坎顿的切罗基高中实施枪击，该地距亚特兰大以北约45英里，他们被控共谋谋杀。这名未成年人还被指控扰乱或妨碍公立学校的运作。泰勒的律师表示自己刚接手此案，不予置评。根据佐治亚州刑法，泰勒被视为成年人。
They chose next Aug. 20 as the date, just a couple of weeks after the first day of school on Aug. 2. The suspects are accused of planning a shooting at Cherokee High School in Canton, about 45 miles north of Atlanta and are charged with conspiracy to commit murder, police said. The juvenile is also accused of disrupting or interfering with the operation of public schools.A lawyer for Taylor, who is considered an adult under Georgia criminal law, said he had just gotten the case and did not have a comment.
目前尚不清楚正等待从加利福尼亚州被押送至切罗基县的特里是否有律师，美联社也无法立即找到他的联系方式。警方未公布这名未成年嫌疑人的姓名和年龄。联邦调查局发现了“社交媒体上的威胁帖文”并通知了学校警察，学校警察随后联系了坎顿警察局。警方查明了这名未成年嫌疑人的身份，称其居住在坎顿，与这些威胁有关联。
It was not immediately clear whether Terry, who was awaiting transfer from California to Cherokee County, had a lawyer, and The Associated Press could not immediately locate contact information for him. Police did not release the name and age of the juvenile suspect. The FBI identified “threatening social media posts” and notified school police, who then contacted the Canton Police Department. Police figured out the identity of the juvenile suspect, who they said lives in Canton and was connected to the threats.
他于10月20日被捕。居住在佐治亚州梅特（位于坎顿东南240英里）的泰勒和居住在加利福尼亚州查茨沃斯的特里于10月23日被捕。目前尚不清楚特里与佐治亚州有何关联（如果有的话），也不清楚这些嫌疑人彼此是如何认识的。警方称，调查人员收集了枪支、弹药和电子设备作为证据。
He was arrested Oct. 20. Taylor, who lives in Metter, Georgia, 240 miles southeast of Canton, and Terry, who lives in Chatsworth, California, were arrested on Oct. 23. It's not clear what connection, if any, Terry has to Georgia, or how the suspects might have known one another. Investigators collected guns, ammunition and electronic devices as evidence, police said.
警方表示，目前未发现该高中或该县任何其他学校面临持续威胁，调查仍在进行中。切罗基县学区总监玛丽·伊丽莎白·戴维斯周二在网上发布的一段视频讲话中试图安抚家长。“仅仅想到学校威胁就令人崩溃，更不用说听到有人涉嫌密谋实施这样的威胁了。说实话，这令人极其痛心，我和你们一样，经历了这类消息传出后的种种情绪，”她说。但她补充说，多家执法机构协同合作，已“彻底挫败”了这一涉嫌阴谋，并表示得知现有机制按预期发挥作用“令人安心”。
No ongoing threat to the high school or any other school in the county was identified, and the investigation remained active, police said. Cherokee County School District Superintendent Mary Elizabeth Davis sought in a video message posted online Tuesday to reassure parents.“The mere thought of a school threat, let alone hearing of an alleged conspiracy to carry one out, is honestly devastating, and, like you, I have experienced the range of emotions that follow this type of news,” she said. But she added that law enforcement agencies working together had “completely disrupted” the alleged plot and said knowing that the processes in place worked the way they were supposed to was “reassuring.”
