(德国之声中文网)枪击案发生在美国首都华盛顿的一个海军基地。一名退役海军士兵当地时间周一早上持有效证件进入基地指挥部后,向工作人员开枪扫射。共有12人中弹身亡,凶手也在与警方的交火中被打死。另有8人受伤,其中包括一名警察,他的腿部多处中弹,必须接受手术治疗。

遇难者的年龄在46到73岁之间,警方表示,死者均为文职雇员和业务承包人员,并没有现役海军军人。据五角大楼提供的信息,平时在该海军基地工作的人数约为1万人,其中在指挥部有3000人。

堂而皇之持枪进入

华盛顿市长格雷(Vincent Gray)周一晚间表示,人们尚不清楚作案者的动机是什么,并称这一血案为又一次"可怕的悲剧"。他说,尚没有证据显示这是一起恐怖袭击,但调查机构不排除这种可能性。

周一案发后,警方认为可能还有第二名作案人,并展开搜捕行动。现年34岁的作案人亚历克西斯(Aaron Alexis)是得克萨斯人。他2007年至2011年曾在海军服役,后来又作为私人承包商为海军工作。

据CNN报道,亚历克西斯进入海军基地时携带多件武器,包括一支冲锋枪和一把手枪。尽管如此,由于他拥有有效的证件,还是得以通过严格的安检进入海军基地。报道称他的证件是2012年9月办理的,今年6月刚刚获得延长。

"9-11的心理创伤"

据媒体报道,警方对亚历克西斯并不陌生。据西雅图警方通报,亚历克西斯2004年曾向一辆停放的汽车轮胎开枪,据他自己称当时"脑子一片混乱"。2010年他曾在自己的住所里开枪。他的父亲称,他往往难以控制自己暴躁的情绪。据说亚历克西斯在2001年9-11恐怖袭击发生后,曾参加救援行动,自此受到心理创伤的困扰。

当天晚些时候,联邦调查局(FBI)华盛顿地区的负责人表示,亚历克西斯很可能是唯一的凶手。此后警方解除了对海军基地周边地区的封锁。周二对附近街道的封锁也将被解除。

美国总统奥巴马向遇难者家人表达了慰问,下令降半旗致哀,国会参议院也为此取消了当天下午的一次会议。此次枪击案让美国人不由回忆起发生在得克萨斯州胡德堡(Fort Hood)美军基地的枪击案。2009年11月,穆斯林裔美军心理医师哈桑(Nidal Hasan)持枪打死13人,打伤数十人。43岁的哈桑上个月被一个军方陪审团判处死刑。
