世風日下 無故殺人

在只有人口七萬三千人的南卡小鎭石山市，週三下午發生驚悚慘案，三十二歲的職業美式足球运动員亞當公然闯進賴世利醫生私宅，把他和太太及兩個孫子及冷氣修理師全部殺害，兇手稍後也自刎死亡。

小鎮警長對於行兇之原因一頭霧水，想不出這名黑人球員為什麼要下此毒手，他曾於二〇一〇年效力舊金山四十九足球隊後衛球員，事發之後，全國震驚，小鎮上彌漫著哀愁，他們說賴利醫生我們都認識他，他是我們鎮裡的中堅力量，有近四十年的行醫記錄。

在此同時，距離休士頓不遠的德州農工大學所在地布萊爾市，一名櫉櫃生產公司之工人也在工廠內開槍掃射，打死一名同事有多人受傷。

近月來，美國全國各地是遍地槍，從亞大蘭大到柯羅拉多，每天都有許多兇殺案 ，而且是濫殺無辜。

我們要大聲疾呼，禁槍法案之修正已經到了刻不容緩之地步了，槍枝汜濫已經到了無法拯救的地步，我們敬告國會參眾議員諸位，请你們扪心自问，這些不斷上演的悲劇何時才中止，這已經是國家之危機時刻了。

Senseless Killing Is A National Crisis

Former NFL player Phillip Adams opened fire in the city of Rock Hill, South Carolina,  inside the home of Dr. Robert Leslie killing him and his wife Barbara and two of their grandchildren ages 5 and 9. The air conditioner man was also killed outside of the house. The shooter was found in a house nearby dead from a self-inflicted gun wound.

Detectives are still searching for a motive and said that, “… there’s nothing about this right now that makes sense to any of us.”

Dr. Robert Leslie was a prominent physician in the city who had been practicing medicine there since 1981. He also served as Winthrop University’s supervising physician and medical director.

Adams played in the NFL as a defensive back from 2010 to 2015 for teams including the San Francisco 49ers.

In the meantime, in Bryan, Texas, not too far from Houston, police said five people were shot, one of them fatally, at an industrial complex which is located in the shadow of Texas A&M University.

These senseless shootings have already become a national crisis. We need to support President Biden to pass a new gun control bill in congress.
