KSTP明确指出,此次更新的内容是:“三起谋杀和一起自杀,而非致命火灾。”6 裁定说明了四人的死亡方式,但并未解释火灾原因;而火灾自周日第一通报警起就一直是悬而未决的问题。
格兰德梅多,11月8日至11日
- 周日(11月8日)上午约11:291211
消防员和急救人员被派往位于1st Street NE的一栋独户住宅,该处靠近格兰德梅多路德宗教堂(Grand Meadow Lutheran Church)。他们看到冒烟,并在屋内发现四具尸体。
- 周一(11月9日)13
警长办公室仅表示,死者为一名成年男性和三名未成年男性。
- 周二(11月10日)7
调查人员仍在努力查明起火原因。据报道,明尼苏达州犯罪侦查局(BCA)和州消防局长办公室也参与了调查。
- 周三(11月11日)下午24
警长办公室确认了四名死者的身份,并裁定死亡案件为三起凶杀和一起自杀,均为枪伤致死。
- 周三(11月11日)晚上7点91
格兰德梅多的圣芬巴尔天主教堂原定举行祈祷守夜。
裁定的依据
读者应当了解,公众掌握的信息十分有限。关于此次裁定的所有已知信息,均来自明尼苏达州媒体对警长办公室通报的描述。我们所查阅的报道中,没有一家全文转载该通报。各媒体均为转述,措辞各不相同。例如,《奥斯汀每日先驱报》(Austin Daily Herald)写道,男孩们的“死亡方式”是枪伤。这一说法混淆了死因(即伤害本身)与死亡方式(即凶杀等法律类别)。这是一个小错误,但它表明,这一报道是依据摘要拼凑而成,而非依据任何人都可以阅读的官方文件。2
火灾是最明显的空白。截至周二,调查人员仍在试图查明其起因。7 周三的报道均未说明是否已查明起因、火灾是否为人为纵火,或火灾与枪击案有何关联。目前尚未公布任何动机,也没有人说明在烟雾被发现之前屋内发生了什么。在调查人员作出进一步说明之前,较为审慎的态度是等待。任何将枪击与火灾联系起来的推测都只是猜测,本报道对此不作任何推断。

播出原貌
- A father and three sons found after a house fire all died of gunshot wounds.
- The sheriff's office in Mower County, Minnesota, has ruled it a murder-suicide. It says the man shot his three boys and then himself.
- Nobody has said what happened inside that house before the fire, or what started it.
- Sheriff Steve Sandvik's office issued the ruling Wednesday afternoon. The man was Levi Christenson, thirty-eight, the boys' father. The sheriff's office says he took his own life, and that his three sons died of gunshot wounds. Their deaths were ruled homicides.
- Oliver and Felix were fourteen-year-old twins. Their little brother, Calvin, was seven.
- Their home was in Grand Meadow, about twenty miles east of Austin in southeastern Minnesota. Just over a thousand people live there, and many of them will have known these three boys.
- For three days, Grand Meadow believed a fire had killed this family. The call came just before 11:30 Sunday morning, and crews saw smoke and found four bodies inside. On Monday, the sheriff said only that the dead were a man and three boys. On Tuesday, the fire's cause was still unknown. On Wednesday, it became three killings and a suicide.
- We'll keep following this investigation as the fire and forensic findings come out. Subscribe to this channel, and find the story at heyday dot news.
- Several agencies answered that first call to a home on 1st Street Northeast, near Grand Meadow Lutheran Church. By Tuesday, the state's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the State Fire Marshal were part of the investigation. No findings from either agency have been made public.
- The sheriff's office says its investigation isn't finished, and more forensic analysis is pending. Officials haven't said what caused the fire, or whether it was set. No motive has been released.
- A prayer vigil was set for seven o'clock Wednesday evening at St. Finbarr Catholic Church in Grand Meadow. The boys' mother survives them, and an online fundraiser has been set up to support her.
- The fundraiser's organizer wrote that there are simply no words that could ever begin to describe the pain she is facing. The boys, the organizer wrote, were her pride and joy, her happiness, and the center of her universe.
