你们是我的英雄

  昨天白天一直没留意新闻,晚上回到家才知道康州一个小镇的小学校发生了美国历史上最血腥的校园枪击案,20个五到十岁左右的小孩子被近距离枪杀,同时遇害的还有6名老师。那些天真烂漫的无辜的小生命就这样离去,怎不让人泪流满面?

  后来看新闻回放,原来奥巴马在记者招待会上也落泪了。在说"The majority of those who died today were children — beautiful, little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old. They had their entire lives ahead of them — birthdays, graduations, weddings, kids of their own. Among the fallen were also teachers, men and women who devoted their lives to helping our children fulfill their dreams."时他几乎不能自持,沉默了好多秒钟才能说完。

  随着案件的细节越来越清楚,特别令人动容的是那些为保护学生而不惜牺牲自己的老师们,包括试图与歹徒Adam Lanza (之前因为现场发现的一个身份证明曾一度误报为他的哥哥Ryan Lanza)搏斗的校长Dawn Hochsprung女士,年仅27岁义无反顾地试图用自己的身体把凶手和学生们隔开的Vicki Soto老师。媒体后来找到了
的cousin Jim Wiltsie:

  "The family was informed that she was trying to shield, get her children into a closet and protect them from harm, and by doing that put herself between the gunman and the children," Wiltsie said. "And that's when she was tragically shot and killed. "I'm very proud to have known Vicki," Wiltsie added. "Her life dream was to be a teacher. And her instincts kicked in when she saw there was harm coming to her students. It brings peace to know that Vicki was doing what she loved, protecting the children. And in our eyes, she is a hero." (ABC News)


  事件发生的时候,学校的清洁工还勇敢地跑去把学校的广播器打开作为警报,并顺着走廊奔跑告知各个教室的老师马上关门和把学生藏起来。目前他的生死似乎还不清楚,但接受采访的学生和老师都说他的行动救了很多人的命,虽然代价是也让全校的师生通过广播器,在无比恐惧中听到校长和遇害的小孩子们的最后瞬间,还有
手冷酷无情的那句”把你的手举起来“。

  知道出现了紧急情况的时候,教一年级的Kaitlin Roig 马上关上教室门并吩咐她的学生藏进教室的洗手间 。因为地方狭小,几位学生还必须站在马桶上面,她自己则迅速再用一个带轮子的公文柜顶住
教室门,然后也进去洗手间把大家都锁在里面。她事后回忆道:

  "If they started crying, I would take their face and tell them, 'It's going to be OK,'" Roig continued. "I wanted that to be the last thing they heard, not the gunfire in the hall." "I thought we were all going to die," she said through tears. "I told the kids I love them and I was so happy they were my students... I said anyone who believed in the power of the prayer, we need to pray and those who don't believe in prayer" think happy thoughts. Throughout the ordeal, Roig said her students were being very good and she tried to remain positive for them. "They asked, 'Can we go see if anyone is out there... I just want Christmas... I don't want to die, I just want to have Christmas," she said. (Good morning America)


You are my heroes.

后记:因为看不到多少与河南刀砍案相关的报道(关于康州的案子的报道相反却是铺天盖地所以比较容易收集及核实资料),所以此博文只涉及到了康州。刚才看到新闻说在河南有学生勇敢地把教室门顶住不让凶手进课室。向这些英雄们致敬!
