Five people were shot Monday at New York City's West Indian American Day Parade, police said. It was the latest incident of violence to mar one of the world's largest annual celebrations of Caribbean culture.
警方稱，周一，紐約市西印度群島日游行中有五人遭槍擊。這是破壞世界最大的加勒比文化年度慶典之一的最新暴力事件。
A gunman targeting a specific group of people opened fire along the parade route in Brooklyn around 2:35 p.m., NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell said. The parade had kicked off hours earlier, with thousands of revelers dancing and marching down Eastern Parkway, a main thoroughfare through the borough. It was expected to continue into the night.

Two people were critically wounded, Chell said. The three other victims were expected to survive their injuries, he said. The gunman fled.
切爾說(shuō)，有兩人受重傷。他說(shuō)，其他三名受害者預(yù)計(jì)會(huì)幸免于難。槍手逃跑了。
"This was not random," Chell said. "This was an intentional act by one person towards a group of people. We do not by no means have any active shooter or anything of that nature running around Eastern Parkway as we speak. The parade is going on and will go on until later on tonight."
“這不是隨機(jī)的，”切爾說(shuō)?！斑@是一個(gè)人對(duì)一群人的故意行為。我們絕對(duì)沒(méi)有發(fā)現(xiàn)任何活躍的槍手或任何類似的東西在東大道附近奔跑。游行正在進(jìn)行中，并將持續(xù)到今晚晚些時(shí)候?！?/p>
An Associated Press videographer who was nearby when the shots rang out saw at least two people being treated for what appeared to be wounds to the face and arm.
槍聲響起時(shí)，一名美聯(lián)社攝像師在附近，看到至少有兩人正在接受治療，他們的臉部和手臂似乎受傷了。

參議院多數(shù)黨領(lǐng)袖查克·舒默當(dāng)時(shí)正在游行，并完成了游行路線。舒默的辦公室留下了一條消息。
Police cordoned off an area adjacent to the parade route, where they placed crime scene markers. The parade continued flowing past as officers were seen bagging items.
警方封鎖了游行路線附近的一個(gè)區(qū)域，并在那里放置了犯罪現(xiàn)場(chǎng)標(biāo)記。游行隊(duì)伍繼續(xù)前行，警察正在打包物品。
Chell asked that bystanders provide police with any video footage they may have recorded of the shooting.

"We need that video," Chell said. "We are going to solve this, but it's going to take a lot of work."
