紐約帝國大廈槍擊案2死9傷 槍手一言不發舉槍殺人大綱
A disgruntled former apparel designer was killed Friday morning in a hail of police gunfire in front of the Empire State Building after he shot and killed a co-worker and engaged in a gunbattle with two officers, authorities said.
根據官方消息，紐約市的地標性建築帝國大廈前在當地時間週五早上發生槍擊事件，一位前任飾品設計師因爲不滿而朝前同事開槍將其射殺。該槍手隨後在與兩名警察的交火中被擊斃。
Nine others were hit by bullets, some possibly fired by police, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.
事件中有9人受傷，紐約市的市長邁克爾·彭博表示有些可能是被警方在交戰中誤傷的。
The violence erupted just as visitors began to queue up to ascend the famous New York skyscraper.
槍擊事件發生時，正有遊客排隊等待進入參觀這座紐約市著名的摩天大樓。
Police identified the shooter as 58-year-old Jeffrey Johnson, who was apparently laid off from his job as a designer of women's accessories at Hazan Import last year.
警方目前已確定槍手的身份爲58歲的傑弗瑞·約翰遜，他之前在女性衣物及飾品商店 Hazan Import工作，但去年已經被辭退。
Bloomberg emphasized that the shooting was not terrorism-related. But that didn’t make it any less terrifying to the people caught up in the melee in one of Manhattan’s busiest areas, especially in a city still haunted by the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks.
紐約市長強調此次的槍擊事件與恐怖主義無關。但對於經歷此次事件的人們來說，在曼哈頓區最繁華的地區不幸遭遇槍擊事件無疑是非常驚恐的，尤其是9.11恐怖襲擊的陰影依然籠罩在這個城市的上空。
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said the bystanders were not hit directly by police, but rather the officers' struck "flowerpots and other objects around, so ... their bullets fragmented and, in essence, that's what caused the wounds."
紐約警察局局長雷-凱利稱受傷的行人並不是直接被警察打中的，而是警方打中了“花盆和周圍的其他物體，還有子彈碎片，事實上這些纔是造成部分行人受傷的原因。”
Six of the wounded were treated and released at hospitals as of Friday evening, while three others remained hospitalized, Kelly said.
他還表示，六名傷者已經接受救治並於週五晚間出院，另有三名患者還在醫院治療中。
