华盛顿特区开枪：一人死亡，八人受伤

One person has died and eight others were injured in a shooting in Washington, DC, on Sunday afternoon, police said.

警方说，周日下午在华盛顿特区发生的枪击事件中，一个人死亡，另外八人受伤。

The three suspects "came out of a vehicle" and "ran down the block" before opening fire on a group of nine people, DC Metropolitan Police Chief Peter Newsham said.

哥伦比亚特区大都会警察局局长彼得·纽瑟姆说，这三名嫌疑人“从车里出来”并“撞倒了街区”，然后向九个人开枪。

The shooting appears to be targeted, the police chief said. Two of the men had long guns, and the third had a pistol, he said.

警察局长说，枪击似乎是针对性的。他说，其中两个人拿着长枪，第三个人拿着手枪。

The nine victims were all adults, eight men and one woman. Two of the injured are in serious condition, and the others suffered non-life-threatening injuries, Newsham said at a press conference.

九名受害者均为成年人，八名男子和一名女子。纽瑟姆在新闻发布会上说，其中两人受伤情况严重，其他人没有生命危险。

The incident comes amid a spate of gun violence in major cities across the country this summer.

今年夏天，该事件发生在全国主要城市的一连串枪支暴力事件中。

"This type of brazen daylight activity in a very, very busy block, I'm sure, is scary for this community," Newsham said. "I don't know what people are thinking if they think they can enter a block and lay down that many rounds. They're putting everyone in this community in jeopardy."

纽瑟姆说：“我敢肯定，在一个非常非常繁忙的街区，这种无聊的日光活动对这个社区来说是可怕的。” “我不知道人们在想什么，如果他们认为他们可以进入一个障碍并放下这么多回合。他们正在使这个社区中的每个人处于危险之中。”
