在孟昭文国会议员上周的推动下，维州两名当地国会议员介入陈先生被枪击身亡的案件。现在三名国会议员发表联合声明如下报道： Local congressmen demand answers in fatal shooting of Chesapeake man By Kevin Green Published: February 14, 2017, 11:57 am CHESAPEAKE,
Va. (WAVY) — Three congressmen are asking for answers to questions
following the fatal shooting of a 60-year-old Chesapeake man. Jiansheng Chen was shot and killed in late January during a confrontation with a security guard in the River Walk community. Chen’s
family says the 60-year-old did not speak any English, and claim he was
playing the popular smartphone game Pokemon Go at the time. Reps.
A. Donald McEachin (VA-04), Bobby Scott (VA-03) and Grace Meng (NY-06)
released a joint statement Tuesday, demanding answers in the deadly
shooting: We
are deeply saddened over the death of Jiansheng Chen. We are also
concerned about the manner and circumstances in which he lost his life.
Many questions remain and need to be answered, and we call on local
authorities to conduct their investigation thoroughly and expeditiously.
We must know how a game of Pokémon Go turned into a fatal shooting. It
is our hope that Congress will act in a bipartisan manner to ensure law
enforcement personnel receive high quality, evidence-based training in
non-lethal de-escalation tactics. We must continue to work together to
emphasize the need for reasonable and effective polices that reflect our
nation’s moral obligation to keep our communities safe. At
this difficult time, we send our thoughts and prayers to the Chen
family, and we eagerly await further information from law enforcement
about this tragic incident.” |
