在恐怖片里,经常有一些匪夷所思的情节。你敲一敲门,出来开门的可能会把你吓一跳。最近,这样的情节就在美国真实上演了。
“对不起,我走错门了。”
“不,你没走错”——砰砰砰!

警方说,亚特兰大的一名少年在敲开一间公寓的门后遭到射击死亡。他以为这是他与女友一起同居的公寓。
The teenager, Omarian Banks, approached the apartment at about 12:30 a.m. on Friday and began knocking on the door under the impression that his girlfriend was inside, the police said. After Mr. Banks, 19, walked away, a man inside appeared on his second-floor balcony to confront him and opened fire.
警方称,奥马里安•班克斯于周五凌晨12:30左右走近公寓开始敲门,以为开门的是他女友。在班克斯离开后,公寓里的一名男子出现在二楼阳台上,朝他开枪。

班克斯曾打电话给她女朋友让她开门,女友左等右等不见人影,打算出门去找,结果全程目击了这血腥的一幕。
“I went to open the door and he wasn’t standing right there,” Ms. Mathis said on Sunday. Ms. Mathis could not see Mr. Banks so she started walking out of her apartment and soon heard faint voices.
他的女友马蒂斯说:“我去开门,他却没有在门口。”她走出公寓,很快就听到了微弱的声音。
“I’m sorry, I’m at the wrong house,” Mr. Banks said, according to Ms. Mathis. She said she then heard a man use a racial slur and say, “Nah, you’re at the right house” — followed by two more gunshots.
马蒂斯听到男友说,“我很抱歉,我走错房间了。”然后她听到一名男子带有种族歧视的语气说:“不,你来对了。”接下来就是“砰砰”两声枪响。

She said she saw Mr. Banks on the grass and ran to him as she screamed his name but he did not respond. “He had tears in his eyes and I noticed the gunshot to his neck and I screamed, ‘Somebody help me!’” Ms. Mathis said.
马蒂斯看到男友跑过草地,她尖叫着喊他的名字,但是没有回应。“他在哭,枪打中了他的脖子。我尖叫着,‘救命!’”
The police said Mr. Bynes and Mr. Banks had a “verbal exchange” before Mr. Bynes fired a handgun three times from his balcony. Mr. Banks was pronounced dead at the scene.
警方说,拜恩斯和班克斯进行了“交流”,之后拜恩斯在阳台上开了三枪。 班克斯在现场被宣布死亡。

然而犯罪嫌疑人拜恩斯的家人却说,他的行为是出于自卫。
Mr. Bynes’s family said he acted in self-defense and to protect his children because his car had been stolen earlier in the week, WSB-TV reported.
拜恩斯先生的家人表示,他的行为是自卫,为了保护他的孩子。因为他的车在本周刚刚被盗。

现在死者班克斯的母亲还不能理解到底发生了什么。
“I don’t understand. I am dealing with the why,” she said. “How someone could be that evil to just shoot someone that clearly made a mistake and was begging you for their life? This was a kid that was fleeing.”
她说:“我不明白,我还在弄清楚为什么。”“怎么可以有如此邪恶的人,因为别人犯了一个错误,不顾别人的道歉,痛下杀手。何况逃命的还是一个孩子。”

不仅仅是受害人的母亲,美国网友也弄不懂了。
@MichelleBelle 在背后放暗枪,还说是正当防卫?
@Sonita 敲开了凶手的大门。太无辜了。
@Nina Cash 毫无人性。没有对生命的一点点尊重。
@RetroDjAlliance 最令人难过的是新闻根本不报道。可怜的母亲,可怜的一家人。
这个枪击案没有上头条是因为美国媒体去报道另一件事儿了。

各种暴力的手段,日益泛滥的枪支,美国社会到底是怎么了。
