男子在芝加哥市中心联邦大楼外持上膛手枪被起诉：凌晨开枪致大楼内外受损
美国司法部伊利诺伊州北区分局（联邦检察官办公室）10月21日宣布，一名伊利诺伊州男子被刑事诉状指控在芝加哥市中心的 Kluczynski 联邦大楼外非法持有一把已上膛的手枪。
诉状称，本周二（10月20日）凌晨4时过后，被告 Edmund J. Horvath 出现在这座位于芝加哥市中心 Loop 区南迪尔伯恩街230号（230 S. Dearborn St.）的联邦大楼通往内部车库入口的车辆坡道上，手持一把已上膛的手枪。一名联邦安保人员隔着车库门的窗户要求他离开该区域；诉状称，安保人员随后听见枪声、看见枪口闪光。芝加哥警察赶到现场，在坡道上将 Horvath 逮捕。射出的子弹对 Kluczynski 大楼的内外部分以及周边基础设施造成了损坏，检察官办公室未表示有人受伤。
诉状指控现年36岁、住伊利诺伊州 Lynwood 的 Horvath 非法持枪：他此前曾因轻罪家庭暴力被定罪，依法被禁止持有枪支。Horvath 定于10月21日下午3时30分在芝加哥联邦法院首次出庭，由联邦治安法官 Jeannice W. Appenteng 主持。
此案由联邦检察官 Andrew S. Boutros、烟酒枪炮及爆炸物管理局（ATF）芝加哥外勤处主管特工 Christopher Amon、联邦保护局第五区区长 Samuel J. Bell 与芝加哥警察局临时局长 Fred Waller 共同宣布，助理联邦检察官 Regina Jeon 负责起诉。检察官办公室提醒，诉状并非有罪证据，被告在被证明有罪之前推定无罪，并有权获得公平审判，检方须在审判中以排除合理怀疑的标准证明其有罪。
Man Charged With Illegally Possessing Loaded Firearm Outside Federal Building in Downtown Chicago: Shots Damaged the Building
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Illinois announced on October 21 that a man has been charged by criminal complaint with illegally possessing a loaded firearm outside the Kluczynski Federal Building in downtown Chicago.
According to the complaint, shortly after 4:00 a.m. on Tuesday, October 20, Edmund J. Horvath possessed a loaded handgun on a vehicle ramp leading toward an interior garage entrance to the Kluczynski Building, located at 230 S. Dearborn St. in Chicago's downtown Loop neighborhood. A federal security officer approached Horvath through the window of the garage door and requested that he leave the area; the officer subsequently heard gunshots and saw flashes, the complaint states. Chicago Police officers were dispatched to the scene and arrested Horvath on the ramp. The discharged rounds caused both interior and exterior damage to the Kluczynski Building as well as to surrounding infrastructure; the U.S. Attorney's Office did not report any injuries.
The complaint charges Horvath, 36, of Lynwood, Illinois, with illegal possession of a firearm by an individual previously convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence. He was scheduled to make an initial appearance in federal court in Chicago at 3:30 p.m. on October 21 before U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeannice W. Appenteng.
The complaint was announced by U.S. Attorney Andrew S. Boutros; Christopher Amon, Special Agent-in-Charge of the Chicago Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF); Samuel J. Bell, Regional Director of Region 5 of the Federal Protective Service; and Fred Waller, Interim Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Regina Jeon is prosecuting the case. The U.S. Attorney's Office reminded the public that a complaint is not evidence of guilt and that the defendant is presumed innocent and entitled to a fair trial at which the government has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
