邻居们表示，涉嫌在俄勒冈州一所小学实施杀戮的年轻人表现得“很内向”。
suspected of carrying out a murderous rampage at an Oregon elementary school came off as “withdrawn”, according to neighbours who lived in the building where the young man resided with his mother.
“他是个真正的独来独往的人，”一位因担心后果而匿名向法新社发声的邻居说。“我总是看到他穿着黑色衣服，看起来很严肃，还驼着背。他从不说早安或晚安。”“他看起来很内向。”
“He was a real loner,” said a neighbour who spoke to AFP anonymously over fears of repercussions. “I always saw him in black, looking very serious and hunched over. He wouldn’t say good morning or good evening.”“He seemed very withdrawn.”
警方将这名年轻人识别为格里芬·J·约翰二世（Griffin J. John II），他在10月15日当地时间大约下午1点进入本德市的银轨小学（Silver Rail Elementary），在一个特殊需求教室开火，造成五岁、八岁和十一岁的三名儿童以及一名教师死亡。
The young man, identified by police as Griffin J. John II, entered Silver Rail Elementary in the city of Bend at approximately 1pm local time on Oct 15 opening fire in a special needs classroom and killing three children ages five, eight and 11, as well as a teacher.
警方表示，约翰曾是该小学的特殊需求学生，但枪击发生时，他并未在本德学区系统中的任何学校注册。
Police said John had once been a special needs student at the elementary school, though at the time of the shooting he was not enrolled in any school within the Bend district’s system.
枪手也被一名持枪路过的旁观者凯卢布·吉亚曼科（Kaylub Giamanco）击毙，该男子在听到枪声后恰好路过现场并追击了袭击者。
The gunman too was shot dead by an armed bystander Kaylub Giamanco, who pursued the assailant after he happened to be passing by the scene when he heard gunshots.
邻居们没有透露枪手的姓名，但通过其母亲肖恩泰·尼克森（Shauntai Nickerson）的社交媒体账号上的图片认出了他。
Neighbours did not identify the shooter by name, but recognised him from images posted to the social media accounts of his mother, Shauntai Nickerson.
“她看起来工作很忙，”另一位同样匿名受访的邻居说。“我们经常看到她穿着工作围裙离开。”受访者都表示，母子俩很少与人来往，他很少外出。即使外出，也总是和母亲一起。
“She seemed to work a lot,” commented another neighbour, also speaking on condition of anonymity. “We’d see her leaving in a work apron.”Those interviewed all said the mother and son kept to themselves and that he rarely went out. When he did, it was always with her.
邻居们指出，这个只有两人的家庭很内向，不太爱社交，但他们的行为从未令人担忧。
Neighbours noted the family of two was reserved and unsociable, but that their behaviour was never alarming.
他们从未看到武器，也没有听到位于小楼二楼、步行几分钟即可到达银轨小学的公寓里传来争吵声。
They never saw weapons, and did not hear arguments coming from the apartment on the second floor of the small building, just minutes away by foot from Silver Rail Elementary.
“他们很低调，公寓总是很安静，好像没人住在那里。他们进出都非常快，”一位邻居补充道。约翰在一所小学实施大规模枪击事件的消息传来，令人们震惊。
“They were very discreet, the apartment was always quiet, as if no one lived there. They would come and go very quickly,” added a neighbour. The news that John had carried out a mass shooting at an elementary school thus came as a shock.
“我们从未想象过他们持有武器，”受访者之一说。“这令人非常担忧，因为这栋楼的墙是木制的。他本来可以在这里开枪，谁知道会发生什么。”“我们震惊不已。”“难以接受”一位邻居表示，警方最初在枪击事件发生约一小时后到达该住宅楼。
“We never imagined they were armed,” said one of the people interviewed. “It’s very worrying, because this building has wooden walls. He could’ve fired a gun here, and who knows what might have happened.”“We are in shock.”‘Hard to accept’A neighbour said police initially arrived at the residential building approximately one hour after the shooting.
他们稍后在下午返回，对居民进行采访：“他们告诉我们，他们正在调查一名住在这里的人，但没有透露其他信息。”一位邻居说，他们目睹了尼克森与警方在一起。
They returned a bit later in the afternoon to interview residents: “They told us they were investigating someone who lived here, but they didn’t say anything else.”One neighbour said they witnessed Nickerson with police.
“她当时哭得很厉害，但我们不知道发生了什么，”该人对法新社说。
“She was crying a lot, but we didn’t know what had happened” at that point, the person told AFP.
“很难接受一个邻居会做出这样的事。”嫌疑人居住的公寓很安静，阳台的窗帘被拉上。
“It’s hard to accept that a neighbour could do something like that.”The apartment where the suspect lived was quiet, with the balcony curtains drawn.
邻居们表示，这起悲剧加剧了社区的担忧，因为它迫使人们意识到：“你其实不知道自己住在谁旁边。”
The tragedy has heightened community concerns, the neighbours said, because it forced one to realise “that you don’t know who you are living next to”.
一位邻居说，他反对持枪，而得知自己住在同一栋楼里有人持枪并未改变他的想法。“更多的枪支不是解决办法，”他说。
One neighbour said he was opposed to gun ownership, and that learning he shared a building with someone who was armed did not change his mind. More guns are not a solution, he said.
“这个问题需要以不同的方式来解决，”邻居说。“作为社会，我们应该审视我们在哪些方面辜负了孩子们，以及我们可以做些什么来更密切地关注他们和他们的行为。”
“This needs to be addressed in a different way,” the neighbour said. “As a society, we should look at where we are failing our children, and what we can do to keep a closer eye on them and what they’re doing.”
“类似这样的新闻总会让人感到空虚。对所有涉及的家庭来说，这非常悲伤。”法新社。
“News like this always leaves you feeling empty. It’s very sad for all the families involved.”AFP
