EE.UU: EUA vuelve a ser víctima de tiroteo en Universidad

Los Angeles / 08 de junio de 2016 / Por: Pablo Navarro / Fuente: http://equilibrioinformativo.com

Se había confirmado previamente por la Policía de Los Ángeles que las dos víctimas eran hombres y se había encontrado una nota junto a los cuerpos, mas no se declaró si era una nota suicida o una confesión.

«Estamos en el edificio de música».

El tiroteo hizo que el campus permaneciera cerrado durante dos horas. «Dijo que venía de otro edificio y que había masas de gente corriendo en dirección contraria», contó uno de los estudiantes por mensaje de texto.

La Policía de Los Ángeles confirmó que se trató de un homicidio-suicio.

La profesora de bioingeniería, Denise Aberle, dijo que podía ver «mucha actividad policial con innumerables vehículos» y un helicóptero de la policía sobrevolando el edifico de ingeniería. Un agente armado lo reviso a él y su mohcila, luego lo alejó con sus manos todavía al aire.

Se da la circunstancia de que la selección de fútbol de Brasil tenía programado para ayer tarde un entrenamiento en las instalaciones de la universidad, que fue suspendido.

El jefe de la policía de Los Ángeles, James Herren, ha asegurado a los periodistas que «es bastante posible que una de las víctimas sea el autor de los hechos». Desplegado un fuerte dispositivo policial (que incluía a agentes del Buró Federal de Investigación o FBI), el recinto quedó clausurado con toda la población estudiantil y docente aislada dentro de sus aulas y despachos a la espera de la captura del presunto tirador.

El portavoz de la Casa Blanca, Josh Earnest, indicó que el presidente estadounidense, Barack Obama, fue informado de la situación a bordo del Air Force One y que el mandatario ha pedido que se le mantenga al tanto de cualquier novedad.

EEUU: UCLA Attack Was the 186th Campus Shooting Since 2013

América del Norte/EEUU/Junio 2016/Autor: Dennis Romero / Fuente: LA Weekly

ResumenFue el tiroteo 186º en una institución educativa en los Estados Unidos desde 2013, de acuerdo con «Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America».

The attack before 10 a.m. was ultimately deemed to have involved those two male fatalities, Los Angeles Police Department Chief Charlie Beck told reporters in an afternoon news conference on campus.

Rumors of multiple active shooters and the possibility of more victims turned out to be false after a massive police mobilization, including the assistance of agents from the FBI’s nearby L.A. office, cleared the 419-acre Westwood institution.

Classes were canceled for the day, part of finals week, but the campus was reopened.

It was the 186th shooting at an educational institution in the United States since 2013, according to the group Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.

It was, of course, another chance to reflect on our relationship with guns.

«This horrific event, at an institution dedicated to learning and mutual understanding, reminds us once again of the fragility of a peaceful society,» Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said in a statement released this afternoon. «Thankfully, the campus is now safe — but I am heartbroken by the sight of SWAT teams running down avenues normally filled with students, and angered by the fear that one person with a firearm can inflict on a community.»

Richard Martinez, father of Isla Vista rampage victim Christopher Ross Michaels-Martinez, has become an outspoken advocate for stricter gun laws.

«Today a California university has been affected by gun violence and yet another round of families will get a call like so many parents receive when gun violence strikes where our children are learning,» he said. «That is a call I would wish on no one. I am so angry that we are here again. We cannot sit idly by while gun violence shatters our families and creates fear in our communities. We should say to ourselves ‘Not One More’ and act to stop gun violence. We should feel safe sending our kids to school. We have to do more to protect our families and prevent our kids from being shot and killed. We can and must do better.»

Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer noted that tomorrow is National Gun Violence Awareness Day.

«Every student, every family and every neighborhood should be shielded from gun violence,» he said. «But this morning’s tragedy at UCLA is another grim reminder that in America today gun violence respects no boundaries. We cannot allow shootings to become a way of life in our nation. On the eve of National Gun Violence Awareness Day, all Americans should join in proclaiming that enough is enough — and take the practical steps necessary to make us all safer.»

U.S. Rep. Ted Lieu of L.A.’s South Bay area called it «a difficult day for the Bruin family.»

«I have no doubt that the university will persevere as we move forward together to understand today’s tragedy more fully, mourn those who have been lost, comfort those who have been affected and look for ways to help prevent violence at our schools and universities,» he said.
