美國當局加州再發生大規模槍擊案,造成三人喪命及另外 12 人受傷。當局指涉案槍手為一名 19 歲青少年,正翻查其所有社交媒體帳戶,包括一個在四天前開設的 Instagram 帳戶。

當局表示,槍手里根(Santino William Legan)於當地時間星期日(7 月 28 日),在加州北部一個美食節「Gilroy Garlic Festival Sunday」,手持 AK47 型突擊步槍隨機開火。

警方在槍擊案發生一分鐘內隨即將里根擊斃。

執法人員於星期一(29 日)表示,當局目前尚未能確定槍手行兇動機。但當地媒體報道,調查人員正翻查里根的社交媒體帳戶記錄,包括一個在四天前才正式開設的 Instagram 帳戶,內容曾引用一本與白人至上主義有關的書籍。

據報,其中一幅在槍擊案發生前不久發佈的一個貼文,顯示一幅該美食節的相片;而貼文亦寫上「garlic festival」、「浪費時間」、「收費過多」等字眼。

此外,另一個貼文則包括一幅顯示 Smokey the Bear 圖案的相片,並附有「今日火警危險級別為高」的字眼,同時亦引用一本白人至上主義書籍《Right is Might》,當中宣揚的是無政府狀態。

Gilroy 警察局局長史密飛(Scot Smithee)表示,調查人員正試圖尋找目擊者證實,是否有另一人有份協助里根執行槍擊。

史密飛在記者會上表示:「我們接獲有關可能存在第二名嫌疑犯的報告,但未能確認他是否有開槍。我們亦正試圖確定其身份及在襲擊案中的角色。」

三名在事件中身亡的死者包括一名六歲男童,陪同其前往美食節的母親及祖母則在事件中受傷。

另外兩名死者分別為一名 13 歲女童及一名 20 多歲男子。

當地媒體報道,其他傷者年齡介乎 12 至 69 歲,其中一人情況危殆。
