男子誤射莫西幹髮型女子獲緩刑
A Colorado man was sentenced to five years' probation after accidentally shooting a woman whose red mohawk he mistook for a fowl that had been harassing his cats.
因爲誤將一名女子的雞冠頭當成前來騷擾家中貓咪的大鳥，美國科羅拉多州一名男子誤射而被地方法院以以過失傷人罪判處緩刑5年。
Derrill Rockwell, 49, told police that he grabbed his 22-caliber rifle and set out from his home Oct. 5 to fire at the bird after spotting it at the top of a hill about 90 feet away, the Daily Sentinel reported Friday.
據Daily Sentinel週五報道，49歲的美國男子羅克韋爾告訴警察，去年十月五號那天他拿起自己22口徑的槍離開家，站在大約90英尺遠的山頂朝一隻大鳥開了一槍。
"His intent was to spook it away," Deputy District Attorney Jason Conley told District Judge Richard Gurley on Friday, according to the newspaper.
據報道，地區代理辯護人Jason Conley於週五告訴區法官Richard Gurley，稱“他的目的是嚇跑那隻‘鳥’”。
But after shooting at the bird, the man said he noticed it didn't fly away and he reported hearing a woman moaning in pain. Rockwell soon discovered that he had shot a 23-year-old woman in the head, mistaking her red mohawk for the menacing bird.
但在射中大鳥之後，男人說他留意到並沒有看見它飛走，轉而代之的是聽見女人痛苦的呻吟。羅克韋爾很快發現他射中的是一個23歲女孩的頭部，誤把她紅色的莫西幹髮型當成那隻討厭的鳥。
Conley reportedly told the judge that the woman may have passed out from alcohol before being shot. Police officers also found a bag of suspected methamphetamine near where she was shot.
報道中稱，辯護人告訴法官，女孩在遭到射擊前很可能是因酒精過度而暈倒，警察也在她被射擊的地方找到了一袋疑似冰毒的物品。
The woman survived the shooting, but has since moved from Colorado and could not be reached by the newspaper Friday.
女孩已經從槍擊中活了過來，但由於她自此搬離了科羅拉多州，所以並未能接受採訪。
Rockwell was sentenced to serve five years probation after pleading guilty to felony possession of a weapon by a prior offender, the newspaper reported. "In 15 years in law enforcement, this was one of the more interesting cases I’ve worked," Grand Junction Police Department detective Sean Crocker told the judge, according to the newspaper.
據報道，這名男子因非法運用槍械攻擊他人已被判處緩刑5年。警察部門的偵探Sean Crocker告訴法官，稱“這是我十五年處理案件以來，看到的最有趣的案例。”
