跟进:乔治·华盛顿大桥枪击司机确认身亡:死者为Con Edison员工Koran Irvine 尚无人被捕

据美联社报道,警方确认,10月20日晚在连接纽约市与新泽西州的乔治·华盛顿大桥上遭枪击的司机已经身亡。死者为46岁的Koran Irvine,住在纽约州Rockland County的Valley Cottage,是公用事业公司Con Edison的员工,事发时处于下班时间。
警方说,枪击发生在周二晚高峰临近结束时、约晚上7时15分,地点是大桥通往新泽西方向的上层路段。港务局警察与纽约市警察局人员接报赶到现场时,发现Irvine昏迷在驾驶座上、身受枪伤,他被送往附近的Englewood Hospital后被宣布死亡。事发后封闭的车道在约五小时后、午夜前后重新开放。本站此前报道,警方最初在处置一起单车事故时发现司机疑似中枪,赴新泽西方向上层车道一度全部封闭。
案件动机仍在调查。警方尚未公布可能的作案动机,也未宣布逮捕任何人。据《纽约邮报》援引执法部门消息人士的说法,调查人员初步认为这起枪击可能源于路怒:监控画面显示,Irvine的车辆在进入上层路段时似乎轻微偏向另一辆车,对方深色轿车随后靠近其车辆后排一侧,Irvine的车突然一晃,调查人员认为那可能就是开枪的瞬间;初步判断只开了一枪,子弹穿过后窗、擦过头枕后击中他的右肩。NBC News报道说,当局正在核查枪击是否源于路怒纠纷,但调查人员尚未公开确认动机。嫌疑车辆事发后驶离现场,是否只有一人作案目前也不清楚。
Con Edison周三发表声明哀悼这名员工。公司发言人说:「我们对Con Edison大家庭的一名成员在这起无谓的暴力事件中悲惨离世感到心碎。我们向他的家人、朋友、同事以及所有认识和爱他的人致以最深切的慰问。」
乔治·华盛顿大桥1931年通车,是双层悬索桥,横跨Hudson River连接曼哈顿与新泽西州。据港务局数据,大桥每年通行约1亿辆车,是世界上最繁忙的机动车桥梁之一,桥体与出入口布满摄像头。
Follow-up: Driver Fatally Shot on George Washington Bridge Identified as Con Edison Worker Koran Irvine, No Arrests Yet
A 46-year-old man who was shot while driving across the George Washington Bridge on Tuesday evening has died, police said, according to the Associated Press. The victim was identified as Koran Irvine of Valley Cottage, in Rockland County, New York. He worked for the utility Con Edison and was off duty at the time, the company said.
Police said the shooting happened toward the end of the Tuesday evening rush, at about 7:15 p.m., on the upper level of the bridge on the New Jersey-bound side, which connects New York City and New Jersey. Officers from the Port Authority Police Department and the NYPD found Irvine unconscious in the driver's seat with a gunshot wound. He was taken to Englewood Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. Closed lanes reopened around midnight, about five hours after the shooting. GSM previously reported that officers responding to a single-vehicle crash had found the driver with an apparent gunshot wound and that the New Jersey-bound upper level was closed.
No arrests have been made, and authorities have not given a possible motive. Law enforcement sources told the New York Post that investigators preliminarily believe the shooting stemmed from road rage: video reviewed by investigators shows Irvine's vehicle appearing to drift slightly toward another car as both entered the upper level, the other driver's dark-colored sedan then pulling up alongside the rear passenger side, and Irvine's vehicle suddenly jerking, likely the moment a single shot was fired. The bullet preliminarily appears to have pierced the back window, grazed a headrest and entered his right shoulder, the sources said. NBC News reported that authorities are examining whether the shooting stemmed from a road-rage encounter, though investigators have not publicly confirmed a motive. The suspect's vehicle drove off, and it was not immediately clear whether more than one person was inside it.
Con Edison mourned the employee in a statement on Wednesday. "We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of a member of the Con Edison family in this senseless act of violence," a company spokesperson said. "Our deepest condolences go out to his family, friends, colleagues, and everyone who knew and loved him."
Opened to traffic in 1931, the double-decked George Washington Bridge spans the Hudson River between Manhattan and New Jersey. According to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the bridge, it carries around 100 million vehicles a year and is the world's busiest motor-vehicle bridge, with cameras throughout the bridge and its entrances.
