A man accused of walking into a Walmart in Missouri equipped with body armor, a handgun and a rifle less than a week after a gunman killed 22 people in a Texas Walmart said it was a "social experiment" and not intended to cause panic, police say.

警方表示，一名被控身穿防彈衣、攜帶一支手槍和一支步槍走進密蘇里州一家沃爾瑪超市的男子聲稱，他是在做一次「社會實驗」，並非是為了引起恐慌。而就在不到一周前，一名持槍男子在得克薩斯州一家沃爾瑪殺害了22人。

"I wanted to know if that Walmart honored the Second Amendment," Dmitriy Andreychenko told investigators, according to a probable cause statement filed by Springfield police.

根據斯普林菲爾德警方提交的一份可能的原因陳述，德米特里?安德烈琴科告訴調查人員：「我想知道，沃爾瑪是否遵守了憲法第二修正案。」

Andreychenko, 20, was arrested Thursday after panic ensued when he walked into the store that afternoon with his rifle slung across his chest, pushing a shopping cart and recording himself with a cell phone, police say.

警方透露，當天下午，20歲的安德烈琴科胸部挎著步槍走進這家商店，一邊推著購物車，一邊用手機錄製視頻，他的這一舉動引發了恐慌。

Patrons fled the store, police were called, and an off-duty firefighter detained Andreychenko until officers arrived to take him into custody.

顧客們紛紛逃離了商店，警方接到報警，一名不當班的消防隊員拘留了安德烈琴科，直到警察趕到將他收押。

He told investigators he intended to buy grocery bags, and didn"t intend for any negative reaction, police said. And he claimed the recording was in case anyone stopped him and asked him to leave, police said.

警方表示，他告訴調查人員，他只是為了買購物袋，並不打算實施任何恐怖的行為。警方說，他聲稱錄像是為了防止有人攔住他，並要求他離開。

His wife and sister told him beforehand that the idea was not smart, especially considering the recent shootings in El Paso and Dayton, according to the document.

根據陳述文件顯示，他的妻子和妹妹事先曾告訴過他，這個想法並不明智，尤其是考慮到最近埃爾帕索和代頓發生的槍擊事件。

He told his sister it was "a social experiment on how his Second Amendment right would be respected in a public area," police said, citing an interview with the sister.

警方援引對他妹妹的採訪稱，他對自己的妹妹說，這是「一個社會實驗，目的是讓他被美國憲法第二修正案賦予的權利在公共場合得到尊重」。

The rifle he carried had a loaded magazine, but a round was not chambered; and the handgun was loaded with a round in the chamber, the document said.

他攜帶的步槍有一個上了膛的彈匣，但沒有彈匣里並沒有子彈；根據文件里的描述，手槍槍膛里有一發子彈。

He faces a charge of making a terrorist threat in the second degree, the police department said on Twitter. CNN was unable to determine whether he was represented by an attorney.

警方在推特上表示，他面臨二級恐怖威脅的指控。CNN無法確定他是否有律師代表。

"Missouri protects the right to open carry a firearm, but that right does not allow an individual to act in a reckless and criminal manner, endangering other citizens," attorney Dan Patterson said. "As Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes famously explained, "The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man ... falsely shouting fire in a theater, causing a panic.""

檢察官丹?帕特森指出：「密蘇里州保護公開攜帶槍械(槍支)權利，但這項權利不允許個人以魯莽和犯罪的方式危害其他公民。正如奧利弗?溫德爾?霍姆斯大法官著名的言論，『對言論自由最嚴格的保護並不是保護一個在劇院里大聲地假報火警而造成恐慌的人。』」

Police Lt. Mike Lucas said he did indeed cause a panic.

警官盧卡斯則表示，這名男子確實引起了恐慌。

Andreychenko entered the Walmart Neighborhood Market on Thursday afternoon, Lucas said.

盧卡斯透露，安德烈琴科於周四下午進入了沃爾瑪附近的商場。

When he did, the store"s manager pulled the fire alarm to initiate patrons" escape, according to CNN affiliate KYTV.

據CNN下屬的KYTV報道，當他進去之後，這家店的經理拉響了火警警報，顧客們立即開始逃跑。

No shots were fired, and no one was injured, police said.

警方稱，他並未開槍，也無人受傷。

Lucas said the recent spate of mass shootings in public places may have placed customers on heightened alert, leading them to call police to report an shooter.

盧卡斯說，最近發生在公共場所的大規模槍擊事件可能使顧客處於高度警覺狀態，因此他們打電話給警方稱出現了一名槍手。

"All we know is the fact that he walked in here heavily armed with body armor on, in military fatigues and caused a great amount of panic inside the store. So, he certainly had the capability [and] the potential to harm people," Lucas said.

盧卡斯表示：「我們所知道的是，他穿著防彈衣，全副武裝地走進商店，並在店內引起了很大的恐慌。因此，我們認為他極有可能動用身上的武器傷害民眾。」
