Six killed in U.S. nursing home shooting

  A gunman stormed a nursing home in Carthage, North Carolina on Sunday morning, fatally shooting six people and injuring at least two others including a police officer, local police said.

  The shooting happened around 10 a.m. eastern time (1400 GMT) at Pinelake Health and Rehab Center, a 90-bed rehabilitation, nursing and Alzheimer's care facility, Carthage Police Chief Chris McKenzie told reporters.

  The injured, as well as the alleged shooter who was also injured, were taken to Moore Regional Hospital.

  McKenzie did not offer a motive for the crime or say what the suspect's relationship to the facility might be.

  The wounded police officer, who was the first to arrive at the scene, is in good condition, but conditions of other injured people are unknown.

  Multiple law enforcement agencies, including Carthage Police Department, Moore County Sheriff's Office and State Bureau Investigation, are investigating the case.

  Authorities have not released any other details.

  A news conference is scheduled for 5 p.m. eastern time (2100 GMT).

  TV footage shows nearly a dozen law enforcement vehicles and yellow tape roping off what appears to be the front of the building.

  The nursing home, which opened in 1993, recently got a five-star rating, the highest possible, from the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

  Fatal shootings are not uncommon in the United States, where about 30,000 get killed annually in gun-related violence.

  On March 15, a man shot four people dead at a house before killing himself in Miami, Florida.

  美国警方29日说,当天上午一名男子持枪闯入北卡罗来纳州穆尔县迦太基镇一所高级疗养院,当场开枪打死6人并打伤2人,包括一名警官。凶手在被警方击伤后被擒。

  迦太基镇警察局局长麦肯齐说,枪击案发生在上午10时左右。目前2名伤者和凶手都被送进医院救治。受伤的警官状况良好,其他人情况不明。凶手是一名年轻男子,暂不清楚其作案动机。

  包括迦太基镇警察局、穆尔县警长办公室和州调查局在内的多个执法机构已派人在现场进行调查。从电视画面看,疗养院大楼前停了十几辆警车,现场已被封锁。

  据悉,这个疗养院成立于1993年,最近被联邦政府评为五星级,拥有90个床位。目前不清楚凶手与这个疗养院之间的关系。警方将于当天晚些时候召开新闻发布会通报案情。

  美国是世界上国民拥有枪支最多的国家之一,全国人口3亿多,私人拥有枪支数量估计达2.5亿,每年约有3万人死于各类枪击事件。
