亚当·阿尔-谢里菲副警员留下了妻子和两个孩子。周五的简报会确认了枪手身份,并描述了枪火规模,但重要的调查问题仍未有答案。
副警员艾哈迈德·“亚当”·谢里菲的遗孀和母亲在周五的简报会上出席,身边围绕着其他副警员。谢里菲是一名丈夫,也是一位两个孩子的父亲,其中一个孩子还是新生儿。范赞特县警长凯文·布里杰描述这起致他身亡的枪击事件时,家人承受着失去亲人的痛苦,任何对枪声的描述都无法让这种痛苦减轻。1 3
10月23日的简报会公布了周二夜间发生在德克萨斯州坎顿南部的一起执行搜查令枪击事件的两项重要进展:布里杰确认枪手是42岁的米·范·阮,并称他用一支半自动步枪发射了800多发子弹。在同一事件中受伤的坎顿警员克里斯·沃森据报情况稳定,手术后正在康复。1 2 4
800多发子弹这一数字来自警长的说法,并非经独立核实的弹道统计。现有报道没有解释这些子弹是如何计数的。该数字描述了警员面对的枪火规模,但并未厘清任何特定子弹的轨迹,也未说明阮如何受了致命枪伤。1
HeyDay News在10月21日报道这起枪击事件时称,一名副警员死亡、一名坎顿警员受伤,嫌疑人则被发现死在屋内。我们的报道没有公布这三人的姓名,也未说明住院警员的情况。后续报道公布了他们的身份,并称沃森术后情况稳定;周五的简报会则补充了警长对枪火规模的描述。
公路旁住宅内的两份搜查令
副警员当时协助坎顿警方,试图在阮位于范赞特县坎顿以南、州道198号4300街区的住所执行两份重罪逮捕令。后续报道称,相关指控为持致命武器加重袭击罪和袭击治安人员加重罪。布兰登·方特诺副警员也参与了此次执行搜查令的行动。2 6
这两份搜查令解释了警员为何前往住宅。它们是逮捕行动所依据的指控,并非定罪结果,也不能说明阮为何开枪。
据CBS Texas报道,布里杰称,警员于周二、10月20日晚上约10时抵达,约20分钟后开始发生枪击。事件报道说,阮从住宅内向屋外的警员开火,警员随后还击。阿尔-谢里菲和沃森都中枪,阿尔-谢里菲身亡。1 7
这些时间应视为大致时间,而非已经确定的逐分钟经过。其他报道将执行搜查令的行动时间定在晚上约10时22分。各方说法未能确定警员抵达至首次开枪的准确顺序,这些交战时间也都不是任何一人死亡时间的确切记录。1 2 7
沃森右臂中枪,随后被空运至普莱诺接受手术。CBS19在10月21日已经报道了这些细节,以及他情况稳定。周五的报道描述的是持续康复,而非新披露的伤情或新的医疗转折。目前尚无长期预后、出院日期或返岗日期的确定信息。7 2
简报会背后的丧亲之痛
据CBS19报道,谢里菲的兄弟此前曾确认他名叫亚当·谢里菲,之后警长办公室才正式公布其姓名。后来的报道给出的全名是艾哈迈德·“亚当”·谢里菲。这些报道反映的是家属先行确认身份、随后官方公布姓名,并非对死者身份存在相互矛盾的说法。7 3
周五的简报会上,布里杰谈到了这名副警员的亲属和同事共同承受的悲痛。1
今天我无话可说,无法消除这份痛苦或空虚;不仅家人感受如此,我们所有人今天也都如此。
警长还谴责了这起袭击事件,并表示:“这种邪恶在我们的社区没有立足之地。”这是他对暴力事件的评价,并非对阮的动机所作的调查结论;现有报道无法确定其动机。1
枪击停止后,阮被发现死在屋内,死因是枪伤。官员尚未确认该伤是其自伤,还是执法人员开枪造成的。在双方交火后发现他身亡,本身并不能证明是警员杀死了他。1
播出原貌 13 行
- A gunman fired more than 800 rounds in the shootout that killed a deputy. Sheriff Kevin Bridger gave that figure Friday, identifying the gunman as forty-two-year-old Mi Van Nguyen.
- Canton police Officer Chris Watson survived an arm wound and is recovering after surgery.
- On October 21, we reported a deputy killed, an officer wounded and a suspect found dead. We left all three unnamed, and the wounded officer's condition was unknown.
- Investigators still have to determine how Nguyen received his fatal gunshot wound.
- Officers went to Nguyen's home on State Highway 198, just south of Canton in Van Zandt County. The home was in the highway's 4300 block. Sheriff's deputies were helping Canton police serve two felony arrest warrants.
- The encounter unfolded Tuesday night, October 20, around ten. Bridger described gunfire beginning roughly twenty minutes after officers arrived. Those are approximate times. Nguyen opened fire from inside the residence toward officers outside, and officers returned fire, the sheriff said.
- The warrants accused Nguyen of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and aggravated assault on a peace officer. They gave officers grounds to attempt an arrest. The allegations hadn't been tested at trial, and they don't explain why he opened fire.
- Deputy Ahmed “Adam” Al-Sherifi and Watson were both struck. Al-Sherifi died. His brother had earlier identified him as Adam Sherifi, before the sheriff's office formally named him. Deputy Brandon Fontenot was also among the personnel involved in the warrant-service attempt.
- Watson was shot in the right arm and flown to Plano for surgery. Bridger said he's stable and recovering. His arm injury, surgery and stable condition were already public before Friday's briefing. His recovery continues.
- Another officer helped provide lifesaving assistance while the gunfire continued. Bridger praised that officer's focus, saying, “He stayed focused and protected everyone.” The sheriff's ammunition figure describes the scale of the firing. He hasn't explained how the rounds were counted.
- Al-Sherifi was a husband and father of two children, including a newborn. His widow and mother attended Friday's briefing, surrounded by fellow deputies. Bridger told them there were no words he could offer to take away their pain.
- Bridger also said, “This kind of evil has no place in our communities.” He used those words to condemn the attack. Investigators are still working through the exchange of gunfire.
- Nguyen was found dead inside the home after the firing ended. Officials haven't determined whether his fatal gunshot wound was self-inflicted or caused by law-enforcement gunfire. The Texas Rangers are investigating, with the sheriff's office cooperating.
