细节披露！美得州小学枪击事件调查：现场指挥官阻止警察进入教室 耽误救援

刚刚过去的周末，美国又发生了9起大规模枪击事件，累计造成6人死亡，40多人受伤。

现场指挥官阻止警察进入教室 耽误救援

当地时间6月21日，美国得克萨斯州公共安全部负责人披露了此前罗布小学枪击案的细节，指出警方本可以在3分钟内阻止事件的发生，他们的反应是“赤裸裸的失败”。

在得克萨斯州参议院特别委员会的听证会上，得州公共安全部主任史蒂夫·麦克劳说，在嫌疑人进入事发建筑3分钟后，有足够数量的穿戴防弹装备的武装人员到达，可以引开并制服该嫌疑人。然而，现场指挥官等待武器支援及教室钥匙，阻止警察进入有学生被困的111教室和112教室。事发教室的门实际上无法从里面上锁，但是在等待时间内警察甚至没有检查门是不是可以打开。麦克劳作证说，在录像中，他“从未看到有人在钥匙到达之前将手放在门上”。

麦克劳还表示，警察和警长的无线电设备在学校内无法正常使用，现场只有部分巡逻人员的无线电设备可以使用，但是通话并不顺畅。

The law enforcement response to the Uvalde school shooting that killed 19 children and two teachers was "an abject failure" in which a commander put the lives of officers over those of the children, Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Director Steven McCraw said on Tuesday.

The onsite commander made "terrible decisions" and officers at the scene lacked sufficient training, costing valuable time during which lives may have been saved, McCraw told lawmakers during a Texas Senate hearing into the May 24 mass shooting.

"There is compelling evidence that the law enforcement response to the attack at Robb Elementary was an abject failure and antithetical to everything we've learned," he added.

Many parents and relatives of the schoolchildren and staff have expressed deep anger over police actions after the gunman entered Robb Elementary School and began shooting.

One delay McCraw discussed was the search for a key to the classroom where the shooting occurred. He noted that the door was not locked and there was no evidence officers tried to see if it was secured while others searched for a key.

"There's no way ... for the subject to lock the door from the inside," he said.

Days after the shooting, the Texas DPS said as many as 19 officers waited over an hour in a hallway outside classrooms 111 and 112 before a U.S. Border Patrol-led tactical team finally made entry. 

The Uvalde district attorney (DA) has asked the city not to release records related to the probe into the school shooting, Mayor Don McLaughlin said in a statement. He added that to date the DA and the DPS have not provided the city with any information on their probes.

参议院两党投票通过枪支管制立法协议文本

当地时间6月21日，美国参议院两党以64票赞成、34票反对的结果通过枪支管制立法协议文本。该法案的通过将打破联邦立法解决枪支暴力问题长达一年的僵局。若该立法在国会两院获得通过，它将会是几十年来第一个重要的枪支改革立法。
此前，经过数周的两党谈判，美国参议院公布了关于枪支管制立法的协议文本。
The U.S. Senate advanced a bill Tuesday night that would address the nation's gun violence problem, putting the legislation on course to be passed into law later this month.
The 64-to-34 vote came just hours after Republicans and Democrats released the text of the legislation, and after days of feverish negotiations to hammer out its details.
The legislation includes provisions that would help states keep guns out of the hands of those deemed to be a danger to themselves or others and close the so-called boyfriend loophole by blocking gun sales to those convicted of abusing unmarried intimate partners. 
After mass shootings at a New York grocery store and a Texas elementary school that authorities said were committed by teenagers, the legislation would allow states to provide juvenile records to the national background check system for gun purchases.
