密蘇里警察星期三槍殺持槍黑人

Police in ((the central U.S. state of)) Missouri say an officer shot and killed an armed black man early Wednesday morning.

美國中部密蘇里州的警方說，當地一名警察星期三早晨開槍打死一名持槍的黑人。

A spokesman for the police department in Berkeley, a suburb of St. Louis, says the officer encountered two men during a routine check at a gas station. The spokesman says one of men pointed a gun at the officer, prompting the officer to open fire. The second man fled the scene.

聖路易斯郊區伯克利的警察局發言人說，警察在一個加油站巡邏時遇到兩名男子，其中一人掏槍瞄準警察，促使警察開槍自衛，將其擊斃，另一名男子逃離現場。

Several dozen residents gathered at the scene of the shooting and confronted police. At least two smoking objects were thrown into the crowd, one of which exploded.

幾十名居民聚集在槍擊現場，質問警察。有人投擲了至少兩個冒煙裝置，其中一個發生爆炸。

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper has identified the dead man as 18-year-old Antonio Martin. A woman who identified herself as Martin's mother told reporters that her son's girlfriend gave her a different account of what happened.

聖路易斯郵報確定死者是18歲的安東尼奧?馬丁。 一名自稱是馬丁母親的婦女對記者說，馬丁女朋友的說法跟警察不同。

Antonio Martin’s mother said:"She told me they went to the store, they were walking somewhere. They were walking and the police, I guess he started or something and police were shooting."

這位婦女說，馬丁的女朋友說，他倆人去商店，在路上走着，馬丁有什麼舉動，警察就開槍了。
