杰克逊，密西西比州 — 一名1岁男童在密西西比州被一名警察开枪打死，其父母周一在该州检察长办公室外发起抗议。检察长上月裁定该枪击行为属于正当防卫。
SOPHIE BATES JACKSON, Miss. — The parents of a 1-year-old boy who was shot and killed by a police officer in Mississippi led a protest Monday at the office of the state’s attorney general, who ruled last month that the shooting was justified.
“我们宝宝的命也很重要”的呼喊声在办公室大厅回荡，科恩·怀利的父母和一小群活动人士要求与密西西比州检察长林恩·菲奇对话。
Cries of “our baby’s life mattered” echoed through the office’s lobby as Kohen Wiley’s parents and a small group of activists demanded to speak to Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch.
一直在协助科恩父母的活动人士马奎尔·布里奇斯表示，他们希望菲奇直视科恩父母的眼睛，告诉他们为什么这起枪击是正当的。
Marquell Bridges, an activist who has been working with Kohen’s parents, said they wanted Fitch to look Kohen’s parents in the eyes and tell them why the shooting was justified.
“这些人为我们工作。我们发工资给他们。我们投票。我们选他们上台，我们的民众必须明白我们拥有力量，”他说。
“These people work for us. We pay their salaries. We vote. We put them in office, and our people have to understand that we have the power,” he said.
他们在大厅遇到了菲奇的幕僚长，对方称菲奇不在办公室。周一已向检察长办公室发送电子邮件寻求置评。
They were met in the lobby by Fitch’s chief of staff, who said Fitch was not in the office. An email seeking comment was sent to the attorney general’s office Monday.
科恩·怀利于6月在小镇塞纳托比亚遇害，地点距离田纳西州孟菲斯以南约40英里（65公里）。当时一名警察在回应一起商店行窃报警时，向一辆行驶中的车辆开枪。
Kohen Wiley was killed in June when a police officer in the small town of Senatobia about 40 miles (65 kilometers) south of Memphis, Tennessee, fired his gun into a moving vehicle while responding to a shoplifting call.
执法记录仪画面显示，科恩的母亲韦莱西娅·怀利抱着科恩，与一名朋友跑过塞纳托比亚一家沃尔玛超市的停车场并上车。怀利和驾驶的朋友均为黑人。
Body-worn cameras show Kohen’s mother, Vellesiya Wiley, holding Kohen as she and a friend run across the parking lot of a Senatobia Walmart and enter their vehicle. Wiley and the friend, who was driving, are Black.
五名警察拔枪靠近停着的车。车辆倒车离开并撞上附近一辆停放的车辆，警察大喊让车停下。
Five officers approach the parked car with guns drawn. The car reverses away and crashes into a parked vehicle nearby as officers yell for it to stop.
随后车辆向前加速，塞纳托比亚警探亨特·福斯特拔枪走向车辆正前方。车轮转向避开他，他似乎双手扶住引擎盖跳开躲避。他开枪击碎了前排乘客侧车窗，科恩当时正坐在母亲腿上。
The vehicle then accelerates forward as Senatobia Sgt. Hunter Foster steps toward it, directly in front, with his gun drawn. The wheels turn away from him, and he appears to put his hands on the hood as he jumps out of the way. He fires his gun, shattering the window of the front passenger side, where Kohen was seated on his mother’s lap.
这起枪击引发了长达数月的哀悼和伸张正义的呼声，无论是在全国范围内还是在塞纳托比亚。周日本是科恩2岁生日。
The shooting sparked months of mourning and calls for justice , both nationally and in Senatobia. Kohen would have turned 2 on Sunday.
坐在检察长办公室外，科恩的父亲戴维昂·威廉姆斯说，科恩生日的到来让他感到“从未有过的最糟糕的心情”。
Sitting outside the attorney general’s office, Kohen’s father, Davion Williams, said the passing of Kohen’s birthday was “the worst feeling ever.”
“这很难。这真的很难用语言表达和谈论，”威廉姆斯说。“现在我们必须让他的名字流传下去。”
“It’s hard. It’s just hard to even express and talk about,” said Williams. “Now we have to keep his name alive.”
威廉姆斯说，他希望福斯特受到起诉，并让菲奇下台。他穿着一件印有科恩头像的T恤，上面写着“科恩本该两岁了。为纪念他而投票。”福斯特的律师马丁·祖马赫曾表示，他的当事人“别无选择”，只能向车辆开枪，因为车辆即将撞上他。密西西比州检察长办公室称，其长达数月的调查发现，福斯特使用武力是适当的。
Williams said he wants Foster prosecuted and Fitch out of office. He wore a t-shirt with Kohen’s face that read “Kohen should be 2. Vote in his honor.”Foster’s attorney, Martin Zummach, has said his client had “no choice” but to shoot at the vehicle because it was going to hit him. The Mississippi Attorney General’s office said its monthslong probe found that Foster’s use of force was appropriate.
与此同时，美国烟酒枪炮及爆炸物管理局正在调查周六发生的一起纵火案，该案导致塞纳托比亚警局大楼受损。火灾原因尚不清楚。周一发给美国烟酒枪炮及爆炸物管理局和州消防局长办公室的电子邮件暂未得到回复。
The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, meanwhile, was investigating an arson fire on Saturday that damaged the Senatobia police building. It was unclear what caused the fire. Emails to the ATF and the state fire marshal’s office Monday were not immediately returned.
