跟进：乔治·华盛顿大桥路怒枪击案退休纽约警探被捕：62岁Victor Romero被控谋杀，死者为46岁Con Edison员工Koran Irvine

纽约——一名早已退休的纽约市警察局警探10月21日因乔治·华盛顿大桥上的路怒枪击案被捕。据美联社报道，警方表示，62岁的Victor Romero被控谋杀，死者为46岁的Koran Irvine；Irvine于周二晚7时刚过被发现倒在自己车辆的驾驶座上，伤重且失去意识，车辆位于大桥上层通往新泽西一侧。Irvine来自纽约州Valley Cottage，被送往医院后宣布死亡。这起发生在晚高峰临近结束时的枪击，使这座连接曼哈顿与新泽西州李堡的哈德逊河大桥交通堵塞数小时。

纽约市警察局对《人物》（People）杂志表示，周二10月20日晚7时刚过，警员接报911电话称一名男子在乔治·华盛顿大桥出城方向上层路面中枪；警员到场后发现Irvine在驾驶座上失去意识、没有反应，其右肩后部有枪伤，送往Englewood医院后宣布死亡。警方随后锁定嫌疑人Romero，将其拘捕并于10月21日以谋杀罪起诉。警局向《人物》确认，Romero是该局前雇员、已退休25年；警局还表示，这起枪击「看来与」一起路怒事件有关，但最终将由调查人员确定。据《纽约邮报》报道，Romero周三晚等待提审；该报引消息人士称，Romero向调查人员承认自己是枪手并交出了枪支。Romero的公开记录电话无人接听，美联社称，目前没有可代表他置评的律师信息。

美联社称，Romero住在纽约州Haverstraw，2001年从纽约市警察局退休。2000年6月，他在非执勤时间与试图抢劫其家人在布鲁克林经营的自助洗衣店的男子交火，胸部与手部中枪；据当时的新闻报道，他用配枪击中一名男子腹部、手臂与腿部，另一名男子腿部中枪。美联社引《纽约邮报》当时的报道称，Romero当时是布鲁克林的一名缉毒警探、在纽约市警察局工作了六年。

Irvine生前是能源公司康爱迪生（Con Edison）的员工。该公司在声明中称这起枪击是「一起毫无意义的暴力行径」，并说：「我们为失去康爱迪生大家庭的一员深感悲痛，向他的家人、朋友、同事和所有认识并爱戴他的人致以最深切的慰问。」大桥运营方纽约与新泽西港务局表示，枪击后关闭的车道在约五小时后重新开放。美联社称，这座1931年通车的双层大桥每年通行约1亿辆车，港务局称其为世界上最繁忙的桥梁。

Retired NYPD Detective Arrested and Charged with Murder in George Washington Bridge Road-Rage Killing of Con Edison Worker Koran Irvine

NEW YORK — A long-retired New York City police detective was arrested on Wednesday, October 21, in the road-rage killing of a motorist on the George Washington Bridge, police said, the Associated Press reported. Victor Romero, 62, was charged with murder in the death of Koran Irvine, 46, who was found wounded and unconscious in the driver's seat of a vehicle on the New Jersey-bound side of the bridge's upper level just after 7 p.m. on Tuesday. Irvine, of Valley Cottage, New York, was pronounced dead at a hospital. The shooting near the end of the evening rush snarled traffic for hours on the busy Hudson River span that connects Manhattan and Fort Lee, New Jersey.

The NYPD told People magazine that shortly after 7 p.m. on Tuesday, October 20, officers responded to a 911 call about a male shot on the "outbound, upper-level roadway" of the George Washington Bridge; on arrival, Irvine was discovered "unconscious and unresponsive" in the driver's seat of his vehicle with a gunshot wound to the rear of the right shoulder, and he was transported to Englewood Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased. Police later identified Romero as the suspect; he was taken into custody and charged with murder on Wednesday, the NYPD confirmed to People. The department confirmed that Romero is a former NYPD employee who has been retired for 25 years, and that the shooting "appears to be" connected to a road-rage incident, though that will "be determined by investigators." Romero was awaiting arraignment on Wednesday night, the New York Post reported; according to the Post, citing sources, Romero admitted to investigators that he was the shooter and handed the gun to police. A telephone number listed for Romero in public records rang unanswered, and information on a lawyer who could comment on his behalf was not immediately available, the AP said.

Romero, of Haverstraw, New York, retired from the New York Police Department in 2001, the AP reported. In June 2000 he was wounded in the hand and chest in an off-duty shootout with men attempting to rob his family's Brooklyn laundromat; using his service weapon, Romero shot one of the men in the stomach, arm and leg, and another man in the legs, according to news accounts from the time. Romero, a drug detective in Brooklyn, had been working for the NYPD for six years when the laundromat shooting occurred, according to a New York Post article from the time cited by the AP.

Irvine worked for Con Edison, the utility said in a statement, calling the shooting a "senseless act of violence." "Our deepest condolences go out to his family, friends, colleagues, and everyone who knew and loved him," the company said. Closed bridge lanes reopened about five hours after the shooting, the span's operator, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, said. Opened to traffic in 1931, the double-decked bridge carries around 100 million vehicles each year, according to the Port Authority, which calls it the world's busiest, the AP said.
