【大紀元2017年11月06日訊】(大紀元記者吳英綜合報導)週日(5日)上午,一名槍手走進德州威爾遜縣薩瑟蘭泉鎮(Sutherland Springs)的教堂,向人群開火,造成至少26人死亡,二十多人受傷。警方證實,嫌犯是26歲的德文‧帕特里克‧凱利(Devin Patrick Kelle),作案動機不明。

CNN報導說,空軍發言人Ann Stefanek表示,凱利曾在空軍服役。從2010年開始在新墨西哥州的霍洛曼空軍基地(Holloman Air Force Base),負責後勤準備。不過,空軍沒有提供他的退役時間及退役的具體情況。

警方說,死者的年齡介於5歲到72歲之間。死者中包括教堂牧師14歲的女兒,牧師夫婦因外出而躲過一劫。

威爾遜縣警長泰奇特(Joe Tackitt)表示,嫌犯凱利來自德州新布朗費爾斯市(New Braunfels),在5日上午11點20分左右持槍向教堂內的人群掃射,隨後駕車逃逸。多位目擊者說,凱利身著黑衣,手持AR來福半自動步槍。

目擊者Johnnie Langendorff告訴KSAT電視台,當時有一名男子向凱利開槍反擊,凱利開車逃跑後,他和這名男子一起開車追了大約幾分鐘。泰奇特說,嫌犯及他的車子被發現停在瓜達盧佩縣(Guadalupe County),當時嫌犯已死亡。目前是自殺身亡或是遭人擊斃,仍不清楚。

德州州長艾伯特(Greg Abbott)表示,週日的槍擊案是美國近代史上最嚴重的教堂槍擊案,也是德州死傷最慘重的槍擊案。

有八名重傷者被醫療直升機緊急送到Brooke Army Medical Center,其他傷者被送到其它醫院救治。

聯邦調查局(FBI)及德州警方仍在現場調查,根據目前所得線索,凱利並未與恐怖組織有所聯繫,執法人員想通過凱利的社交媒體信息,了解嫌犯的作案動機。

位於聖安東尼奧市(San Antonio)東南方約30英里的薩瑟蘭泉鎮,是一個居民僅有四百多人的小鎮。

10月1日,一名槍手在拉斯維加斯掃射參加音樂會的群眾,總計58人死亡。
