(德国之声中文网)当地时间上午9点,清晨的宁静突然被枪声打破。人们四处逃窜、大街上一片混乱。据纽约警方透露,发生在帝国大厦外的这场枪击事件造成2人死亡,9人受伤。死者中的1人是53岁的作案人。

帝国大厦位于曼哈顿最繁忙的心脏地区。9点刚过正好是那里上下班的高峰期。枪击事件就发生在距帝国大厦不到两分钟的一家公司。这家公司位于帝国大厦33街入口处。一名男子突然举枪,朝受害人头部开枪。随后在同警方的交火中,造成9人受伤。不过,也有可能他们是被警察射出的子弹所伤。纽约市市长迈克尔·布隆伯格(Michael Bloomberg)在一个紧急召开的新闻说明会上介绍说,

"警察在接到报警后立即到达现场。一些人可能是被警察误伤的。在和嫌犯的交火中,可能还有其他人受伤。"

A gunman and one other person were killed and numerous others wounded Friday during a mass shooting at rush hour outside New York's Empire State Building, police said. Streets around one of the Big Apple's biggest attractions were closed as police flooded the area. Television helicopters hovered overhead, filming the aftermath, including the body of the suspect covered in a white sheet. Initial details remained sketchy, but the FBI quickly said that there appeared to be no link to terrorism. Police sources told local media that the shooting was related to a workplace dispute.

所有伤者都脱离生命危险。据市长布隆伯格透露,这名53岁的枪击案制造者,去年被公司解雇。就在这个周五的早上9点左右,这名男子来到他过去任职的公司门口,开枪打死了他41岁的前同事。纽约警察局长凯利(Ray Kelly)透露,肇事者作案后便逃往第五大道的帝国大厦。那里有两名纽约警署(NYPD)的警员驻守。局长凯利说:

"当两名警察走向枪击案制造者时,他从包里掏出一把45口径半自动枪,向警察射击,警察开枪还击将其击毙。"

纽约警方称,这起案件看来与恐怖袭击无明显关系。警方封锁了帝国大厦和附近的多条街道。后来,一名目击者报告称,纽约的地标性建筑--帝国大厦前笼罩着混乱和恐慌。这名目击者说:

"人们逃跑时十分拥挤。我试图躲进附近的麦当劳。结果被对面跑过来的人撞倒了。我还差一点就跑进去了。"
