生命真的很脆弱，一個無辜少女就這樣的去了！

 

5月31日晚，我正在馬路上散步，突然聽到幾聲清脆的響聲從湖邊的方向傳來，在寂靜的夜空中久久迴蕩。起初我以為是有人放爆竹，因為是節日，但幾分鐘後有數輛警車從我身邊呼嘯而過，我這才意識到又一起槍擊事件發生在家門口了。

 

事後我才從廣播中得知，就在離我家不到一公里的地方，一位今年大學剛畢業的花季少女Rogers被歹徒開槍誤殺了。Rogers was a recent Northern Illinois University graduate with a degree in child development.

接下來人們更擔心的是:

"I feel so sad that people can't go out and just enjoy the weather without there being a bunch of violence. Everybody is somebody's child,"

由於經濟不景氣我們這個區，也就是現任美國總統的家門口，兇殺和搶劫案不斷，為了治安，警方加大力度，採取警民協防的策略，雇用大批非警人員幾步一崗晝夜值勤，但各種兇殺和搶劫案還是屢屢發生。看看當晚的目擊者是如何說的:

Goodrum said she and Rogers were walking when they came upon the crowd and the fight broke out. "We saw some guys throw some punches, and she just grabbed me and said let's leave in case they start shooting," Goodrum said.

Witnesses said four of five shots were fired. Rogers was hit the head. She fell to the ground.

"I'm like Aeyanuna, get up," Goodrum said. "She wasn't moving. So I turned her over, and then more blood just kept coming out."

A second person was wounded in the calf. The teenager is expected to be OK, according to his mother, Gerilynn White.  

"We were just trying to leave. We were...we were at the wrong place, wrong time," Goodrum said.

"There were a bunch of people around. They were trying to help me," said Goodrum. "I was trying to talk to her. I was like, 'Are you here with me?' She kinda looked side to side. So she gave me some eye motion. But I was holding her hand and asked her to squeeze it and she couldn't."

 

看看警察的本事:

"I hope that someone will come forward. Even if you saw something, you know, call the police and let them know what you have seen," Annyce Dunbar, mother of victim's friend.

Police do not believe Rogers was a target.

Police have made no arrests in the case and they have not released a description of any suspect or suspects. It's unclear if there are any surveillance cameras in the area that might help with the investigation.

 

看來以後晚上在家附近散步都成了問題。槍擊案已經成了美國社會的一個大問題，但我真不希望整日生活在提心弔膽中。我就被人搶過多次，一次還進了醫院。被攔住要錢就更是司空見慣，每每遇到這種情況我多半裝傻充愣(裝出不懂英語的樣子來)，僥倖都能矇混過關。但不知今後還有沒有這樣的好運氣，誰都無法料到明天會發生什麼，看來能看到明天的太陽的人都很幸運。

 

 

美國的治安真的很差，要想不出事，今後晚上少出門，宅在家裡最安全。
