美国胡登堡陆军基地枪击案死者有华人?


据美联社就在几十分钟前最新报道,美国胡登堡陆军基地枪击案13名死者中,有一名23岁叫Kham Xiong 二等兵。根据姓名拼音,我最初以为这名牺牲者似乎是姓熊的大陆移民,因为港台用韦氏注音或港式注音。不用这样方式拼写姓名。后来我进一步查证,发现这位美军士兵家庭来自老挝。Kham Xiong 的家在美国明尼苏达的州府St. Paul市。报道中还提到他的父亲Chor Xiong(通过翻译)、弟弟Robert Xiong,以及原所毕业的社区和平学院Community of Peace Academy 校长Tim McGowan 对他的怀念。

以下为英文报道原文:

Pfc. Kham Xiong, 23, of St. Paul, Minn., a 2004 graduate of Community of Peace Academy, enjoyed hunting and fishing.

"The sad part is that he had been taught and been trained to protect and to fight. Yet it's such a tragedy that he did not have the opportunity to protect himself and the base," his father, Chor Xiong, told KSTP-TV through an interpreter.

Xiong's 17-year-old brother, Robert, described Kham as "the family clown, just a real good outgoing guy."

Community of Peace Academy Principal Tim McGowan told the AP that Chor Xiong informed the charter school of his son's death. Family members picked up pictures of Xiong on Friday for a memorial service, McGowan said.

"He was just a well-rounded individual with a great personality. He was very fun-loving, one who brought a smile to everyone's face he came across," McGowan said.
