幸運的是,兒子無生命危險。

去年9月,生活在德克薩斯州達拉斯的一個白人女警誤闖黑人鄰居家,卻把主人當入室強盜打死。

上週六,同樣在達拉斯,又發生了一起警察誤殺入室者的事件。而這次,他射中的是自己的兒子。

A Texas police officer shot his adult son Saturday, thinking he was an intruder.

週六,德克薩斯州的一名警察把兒子當成非法入室者,開槍射中了他。

Dispatchers received a call around 6 p.m. CDT from a man reporting a shooting at his home. The man said he was an off-duty Dallas officer who mistook his son for an intruder and accidentally shot him, according to a release from the DeSoto Police Department. DeSoto is a city south of Dallas.

調度員在下午6點左右接到電話,一男子報警稱他家發生槍擊事件。據DeSoto警察局發佈的消息,這名男子表示,他是一名下班的達拉斯警官,他誤以爲兒子是非法入室者,不小心射中了他。DeSoto是達拉斯南部的一個城區。

When officers arrived on scene, they found the victim bleeding from his right forearm. The victim was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, the release said.

當警員趕到現場時,發現受害人右前臂流血。消息稱,受害者被送往醫院,沒有生命危險。

目前該警員及兒子的具體身份並未公佈,也不確定他開的是執勤用槍或是自己的槍。警方發言人出面解釋了該警員爲什麼會把兒子誤認爲非法入室者。

The garage door was opened. There were some doors that were locked that had not been locked when he left. It caused him to have some concern that there was something in the house and then things happened very quickly.

車庫門開了。有些他走時沒鎖的門這會兒卻鎖上了。種種跡象讓他擔心房子裏有別人闖入,接下來的事情發生得很快。

由於事件性質被認定爲一場意外,現場並未逮捕任何人。

"It was a startling situation, it was an accident," Pete Schulte, DeSoto police spokesman, told CNN affiliate KTVT-TV. "And fortunately, we're very happy that it did not result in serious bodily injury or death."

DeSoto警方發言人皮特·舒爾特接受採訪時表示:“現場情況令人震驚,的確是個意外,”“幸運的是,沒有發生嚴重的人身傷害或死亡。”

No charges have been filed and no arrests were made, Schulte said.

舒爾特說,目前警方沒有提出任何指控,也沒有逮捕任何人。

"The DeSoto Police Department has treated this like every other case that we would have had and we would've handled it the exact same way that if any charges are appropriate later on, they'll be forwarded over to the DA's office for them to make a decision," Schulte said.

舒爾特說:“DeSoto警察局對這起案件和其他案件一視同仁,我們也會以完全相同的方式處理它,如果後續有任何指控,案件會被轉交給地方檢察官辦公室,由他們做出決定。”

但這樣的說法並不能讓網友完全信服:

又一起美國警察誤殺案!這次他射中了自己的兒子

問句“是誰”可好?

又一起美國警察誤殺案!這次他射中了自己的兒子

有次我把我哥當成入侵者了。然後我問“是誰?”我也沒開槍打他啊。

又一起美國警察誤殺案!這次他射中了自己的兒子

#達拉斯警察有過度執法的問題。

又一起美國警察誤殺案!這次他射中了自己的兒子

如果美國警察在沒有充分評估情況下第一反應是拔槍開火,這就真的是有問題了。

還有一些人諷刺道,莫非他兒子是黑人?

又一起美國警察誤殺案!這次他射中了自己的兒子

他兒子是個黑人吧。

又一起美國警察誤殺案!這次他射中了自己的兒子

我敢打賭他兒子是個黑人。

也有不少網友批評起美國國內槍支氾濫的現象,以及政府監管不力。

又一起美國警察誤殺案!這次他射中了自己的兒子

就這,還說讓人人都擁有一把槍。

更有網友發出靈魂一問:

又一起美國警察誤殺案!這次他射中了自己的兒子

美國都已經不安全到這種地步了?得要先開槍,然後再確認這人是不是入侵者?

你怎麼看待美國頻發的警察誤殺事件?
