美國女警自己走錯家門 卻開槍打死原住戶

The white Dallas cop who fatally shot a black man inside his home -- after mistaking his apartment for her own -- has been arrested and charged with manslaughter, according to officials.

近日,達拉斯一名白人女警官誤入一名黑人男子的公寓,誤以爲自己家中進入了陌生男子,遂開槍將其打死。警方隨後逮捕了她,指控她犯有過失殺人罪。

Amber Guyger, 30, was booked last Sunday night in the Kaufman County Jail. Her bond was set at $300,000.

上週日晚,這名30歲、名叫安布爾·蓋格的女警官被關進考夫曼縣監獄。其保釋金爲30萬美元。

The sheriff's office told CBS that Guyger is expected to make her bond and be released.

警長辦公室向哥倫比亞廣播公司透露,蓋格預計將在繳納保釋金後被釋放。

She is accused of killing 26-year-old Botham Jean inside his South Side Flats apartment last Thursday night after accidentally walking inside -- thinking it was her own residence. Guyger had just finished her shift and was still in uniform.

警方指控她於上週四晚上在南方公寓住宅區殺害了26歲的博瑟姆·吉恩--在她不小心走進去、誤以爲是她自己的住處之後。當時蓋格剛剛下班,還身穿着制服。

At first, she was given a slap on the wrist and asked to take a leave of absence. But authorities later obtained new evidence in the case, which led the Dallas District Attorney's Office to file charges, according to S. Lee Merritt, the lawyer for Botham's family.

該女警官在誤入公寓後被打了一巴掌,並被要求立即離開。但據博瑟姆一家的律師李·梅里特表示,後來達拉斯地方檢察官辦公室獲得了此案的新證據,並對這名女警官提出了指控。

Merritt had previously claimed that Guyger, a four-year veteran, wasn't being eyed for manslaughter charges because of her status as a cop.

梅里特此前曾聲稱,蓋格是一位擁有4年軍齡的退伍老兵,不能因爲她是一名警察而免於過失殺人罪。

He called on the DA's office to treat her "like every other citizen, and where there is evidence that they've committed a crime, that there's a warrant to be issued and an arrest to be made."

他呼籲地方檢察官辦公室“像對待其他所有公民一樣公平審判,只要有證據表明警察犯了罪,就要發出逮捕令並對其進行逮捕”。
