NBC晚间新闻 美警方因恶作剧错杀一位公民

（单词翻译）

Twenty-eight-year-old Andrew Finch¹, a father of two, was shot and killed by Wichita Police Thursday night. Police were led to his house by a call. When a 911 dispatcher followed up, this is what the caller said, they were arguing and I shot him in the head and he's not breathing anymore. This incident is now believed to have been part of a prank² known as swatting, originating from a disagreement online over the video game Call of Duty. But the victim is thought to have no connection to the gamers. I keep thinking this is a dream. I'm gonna wake up and he's gonna be here. But the cops can't just go around shooting people without any consequences.

Today Wichita's deputy police chief responded to the controversy³ and the officers actions. Due to the actions of a prankster we have an innocent victim. If the false police call had not been made we would not have been there. Swatting has targeted celebrities⁴ in the past among those who have faced unexpected police encounters at home. Miley Cyrus, Justin Timberlake, Ashton Kutcher and Justin Bieber. The FBI estimates 400 cases of swatting occur annually⁵ nationwide according to the Associated Press. But they are rarely deadly as was the case in Kansas.

28岁的安德鲁·芬奇是两个孩子的父亲，周四晚上他被威奇托警方击毙。警方接到一个电话后赶到了他家。在911调度员跟进时，报警者是这样说的，他们在争吵，我朝着他的头开枪了，然后他就没了呼吸。据说这起事件是被称为狼来了的恶作剧的一部分。它的起因是网络上玩电子游戏《使命召唤》时产生的分歧。但是据说受害者和玩游戏的人没有关系。我一直认为这是在做梦。我会醒来，然后他就会出现在这里。但是警察不能随便开枪而不承担任何后果。今天，威奇托的副警察局长对争议和警察的行动做出了回应。由于一个恶作剧者的行为，我们有了一个无辜的受害者。如果我们没有接到假报警，我们就不会在那里。在过去，这种恶作剧的目标是那些在家里意外地遇到警察的名人。麦莉·赛勒斯，贾斯汀·汀布莱克，艾什顿·库彻和贾斯汀·比伯。据美联社报道，美国联邦调查局估计，全国每年发生400起狼来了恶作剧事件。但它们很少像堪萨斯州那样出了人命。
