The El Paso shooting suspect"s mother called the Allen, Texas, Police Department weeks before the shooting because she was concerned about her son owning an "AK" type firearm, lawyers for the family confirmed to CNN.

埃爾帕索槍擊案嫌疑人的母親在槍擊案發生前幾周曾給得克薩斯州艾倫警察局打過電話，因為她對兒子持有一把AK型槍支表示擔憂，這家人的律師向CNN證實了這一點。

The mother contacted police because she was worried about her son owning the weapon given his age, maturity level and lack of experience handling such a firearm, attorneys Chris Ayres and R. Jack Ayres said.

律師克里斯?艾爾斯和R?傑克?艾爾斯表示，這位母親之所以報警，是因為考慮到兒子的年齡、心智成熟程度和缺乏使用槍支的經驗，因此她才會對兒子擁有槍支感到擔憂。

During the call, the mother was transferred to a public safety officer who told her that -- based on her description of the situation -- her son, 21, was legally allowed to purchase the weapon, the attorneys said. The mother did not provide her name or her son"s name, and police did not seek any additional information from her before the call concluded, they added.

律師們透露，在與警方通話期間，這名母親被轉接到了一名公共安全官員那裡，後者告訴她，根據她對情況的描述，她21歲的兒子在法律上被允許購買槍支。他們補充稱，這名母親並沒有提供她或她兒子的姓名，警方在通話結束前也沒有向她詢問任何其他額外的信息。

It is not known whether the gun the mother inquired about is the weapon used in the attack.

目前，尚不清楚這位母親所說的那把槍是否就是槍擊案中所使用的武器。

The Allen Police Department provided no reports documenting the call from the mother.

艾倫警察局也沒有提供與這位母親通過話的記錄報告。

The police said in a statement only three minor incidents -- one, a false burglar alarm at the family home, another when Crusius was a passenger in a bus involved in a minor traffic accident and a third when he ran away from home but returned 30 minutes later -- "are the entirety of our dealings with Mr. Crusius.

警方在一份聲明中說，我們警方處理的與槍手克魯西烏斯有關的記錄只有三起，一起是他家裡的虛假防盜警報，另一起是克魯瑟斯乘坐的公共汽車發生輕微交通事故，第三次是他離家出走但30分鐘後就回家了。

According to the family"s attorneys, the mother"s inquiry was "informational" in nature and was not motivated out of a concern that her son posed a threat to anybody.

據該家庭的律師稱，克魯西烏斯母親的詢問本質上是「信息性的」，並非出於對兒子是否會對任何人構成威脅的擔憂。

Crusius was a typical young man in some ways, confused about his path in life, according to another source familiar with the family. He was considering transferring to a four-year university, enlisting in the military and looking for a fulltime job. "He was trying to figure out what to do next" the source said. "When did the wheels come off? We don"t know" the source added.

一位熟悉這個家庭的消息人士表示，克魯西烏斯在某種程度上是一個典型的年輕人，對自己的人生道路感到困惑。他正在考慮轉學到一所四年制大學，然後參軍，並找一份全職工作。該消息人士指出：「他當時正在考慮下一步該做什麼。他是什麼時候走上歪路的？我們並不知道。」

According to police, Crusius opened fire at an El Paso Walmart last Saturday killing 22 people and injuring more than two dozen others. He has been charged with capital murder and is being held without bond at the El Paso County Detention Facility. District Attorney Jaime Esparza said his office will seek the death penalty.

據警方稱，克魯西烏斯上周六在埃爾帕索沃爾瑪開槍，造成22人死亡，20多人受傷。他被控犯有謀殺罪，目前被關押在埃爾帕索縣拘留所，不得保釋。地區檢察官埃斯帕扎表示，他的辦公室將尋求將他判處死刑。

A manifesto proclaiming white nationalist and racists views believed to be written by Crusius was posted on 8chan, an online messaging board, less than 20 minutes before the first 911 calls came in. The four-page document rails against Hispanics and immigrants, blaming them for taking jobs away and the blending of cultures in the US.

在接到第一個911報警電話不到20分鐘之前，克魯西烏斯在一個名為8chan的在線信息平台上發布了一份宣言，宣稱白人民族主義和種族主義的觀點。這份長達四頁的宣言譴責了拉美裔和移民，指責他們搶走了美國人的就業機會，並使美國文化里摻雜進了一些異質。
