美國的槍支暴力事件這幾年愈演愈烈，已經(jīng)嚴(yán)重危害到了民眾的生命財(cái)產(chǎn)安全。據(jù)外媒報(bào)道，光是在美國的圣克拉拉縣，槍擊事件每年造成的經(jīng)濟(jì)損失就高達(dá)7200萬美元。

Firearm incidents cost Santa Clara, a US county in Northern California, 72 million US dollars each year, according to a report by San Jose Spotlight on Monday.

據(jù)圣何塞焦點(diǎn)網(wǎng)5月23日報(bào)道，槍支暴力事件每年導(dǎo)致美國加州北部的圣克拉拉縣損失7200萬美元（約合人民幣4.8億元）。

The estimate covers the costs of public sector responses to gun violence. Margaret Petros, executive director of Mothers Against Murder, a nonprofit that assists victims of violent crimes, said she was stunned by the financial cost of gun violence in Santa Clara County. She noted the financial burden of gun violence can be traumatizing for families.

這一數(shù)額涵蓋了應(yīng)對(duì)槍支暴力的公共支出。援助暴力犯罪受害者的非營利組織“母親們抗擊兇殺”的執(zhí)行董事瑪格麗特·佩德羅斯說，她被圣克拉拉縣槍支暴力帶來的經(jīng)濟(jì)損失驚呆了。她指出，槍支暴力的經(jīng)濟(jì)負(fù)擔(dān)會(huì)給家庭造成創(chuàng)傷。

The county's Assistant District Attorney James Gibbons-Shapiro also said that shootings have impacts on communities throughout the county that go deeper than dollars.

該縣的地區(qū)助理檢察官詹姆斯·吉本斯-夏比駱還表示，槍擊事件給該縣各社區(qū)帶來了比經(jīng)濟(jì)損失更加深遠(yuǎn)的影響。

The report claims Santa Clara County had about 550,000 firearms in 2021, roughly one gun for every four residents.

報(bào)道稱，2021年圣克拉拉縣約有55萬支槍，大概每四名居民就有一支槍。

Over the past two decades, 1,494 county residents have died from firearm-related injuries, with the most common cause being suicide. The report shows Latino residents are disproportionately impacted by gun violence.

過去二十年間，該縣共有1494名居民死于槍傷，多為自殺引起的。報(bào)道顯示，拉丁裔居民遭遇槍支暴力的比例尤其高。

More than half of all nonfatal firearm injuries reported at emergency rooms between 2016-2020 were for Latinos, who only account for 25 percent of the county's population, the report said.

報(bào)道稱，2016年至2020年期間急診室報(bào)告的所有非致命的槍傷病例，超半數(shù)為拉丁裔居民，而這部分居民只占該縣人口的25%。

County Supervisor Cindy Chavez said at a news conference Monday that the county decided to examine the cost of gun violence following the 2019 shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival which killed three and injured at least 15 others.

縣長辛迪·查韋斯5月23日在一次新聞發(fā)布會(huì)上稱，該縣決定對(duì)2019年“吉爾羅伊大蒜節(jié)”槍擊事件之后的所有槍支暴力事件的損失進(jìn)行一次盤點(diǎn)。“吉爾羅伊大蒜節(jié)”槍擊事件導(dǎo)致3人死亡，另外至少15人受傷。

The county is considering enhanced gun control measures just before the first anniversary of the mass shooting at a Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) yard north of downtown San Jose. Nine people were killed during the attack, which prompted San Jose officials to crack down on gun violence.

該縣考慮在圣何塞大規(guī)模槍擊事件一周年紀(jì)念日前夕加強(qiáng)槍支管控措施。這起大規(guī)模槍擊事件發(fā)生在圣何塞市中心以北圣克拉拉谷交通管理局區(qū)域，共導(dǎo)致9人喪生，促使圣何塞官員采取措施打擊槍支暴力。

In Santa Clara County the number of non-serialized guns found at crime scenes went from four in 2015 to 293 in 2021, according to the report.

據(jù)報(bào)道，在圣克拉拉縣，從犯罪現(xiàn)場找到的沒有編號(hào)的槍支數(shù)量從2015年的4支增加到了2021年的293支。
