Riaan Imininingwane emisha isivele mayelana nesigameko sokudubula esishiye kwashona abafundi abathathu kanye nabanye abahlanu abalimele eMichigan State University kuleli sonto.
Amaphoyisa abengakasitholi isizathu sokuhlasela kwangoMsombuluko, kodwa incwadi etholwe ku-Anthony McRae, iziphathimandla ezimhlonze njengoshayasibhamu, iqukethe izinsolo zokuthi wayehola ithimba lababulali; kuhlanganisa izinsongo ezibhekiswe kumabhizinisi endawo, isonto kanye nesifunda sesikole saseNew Jersey; futhi waveza ukuthi “uzizwe sengathi ubukelwa phansi ngandlela thize ngabantu noma amabhizinisi,” kusho uChristopher Rozman, iphini lesikhulu soMnyango Wamaphoyisa Nokuphepha Komphakathi eMichigan State University, ngesikhathi kunengqungquthela yezindaba ngoLwesine.
“Ngifuna ukuqinisekisa wonke umuntu ukuthi lowo ngumbuzo osezingqondweni zethu zonke, futhi senza konke okusemandleni ethu ukuzama ukuthola lokho okusemandleni,” kusho uRozman ngesizathu, wengeza ngokuthi iziphathimandla nazo zihlola ukuthi ngabe ushayasibhamu. wayenomlando wezinkinga zempilo yengqondo.
Amaphoyisa enyuvesi ngoLwesibili bakhombe abafundi abathathu wabulawa njengoBrian Fraser, 20, umfundi wesibili eGrosse Pointe, Mich.; U-Alexandria Verner, 20, omncane ovela eClawson, Mich.; kanye no-Arielle Anderson, 19, osemncane waseGrosse Pointe.
Iziphathimandla zithi uMcRae, 43, uzidubule washona ebangeni elingamakhilomitha amane ukusuka enyuvesi ngemuva kokuzingela okuthathe amahora amaningi okuphoqe abafundi abebethukile ukuthi bacashe ebumnyameni. Ithinjana elivela kumuntu ofonayo liholele amaphoyisa kuMcRae, izikhulu ezithe akukho okuziwayo okuxhumene nenyuvesi. Abaphenyi babheka isimangalo sokuthi wake wanqatshelwa umsebenzi lapho, kusho uRozman.
Kutholwe izibhamu ezimbili kuMcRae, kusho amaphoyisa, kuhlanganisa nalesi azidubula yena. Izibhamu ezisetshenziswe kulesi sigameko zathengwa ngokusemthethweni kodwa azibhalisiwe, kusho izikhulu ngoLwesine. Bekungakacaci ukuthi zithengwe nini futhi kuphi.
Iziphathimandla ziphinde zathola omagazini abalayishiwe abayisishiyagalombili bezinhlamvu ezingamamilimitha angu-9 kanye nesikhwama esincane esinezinhlamvu ezingu-50 ezixegayo esikhwameni.
UMcRae ubenamathikithi amabili ebhasi kanye nephepha elinamakhasi amabili esikhwameni sakhe, kusho izikhulu.
“Lelo bekuyinothi elikhomba ukuthi uzovakashela kuphi futhi laphinde lanikeza inkomba yokuthi … isizathu, kodwa akukho esingakuqinisekisa okwamanje,” kusho uLt. Rene Gonzalez wamaphoyisa eSifundazwe saseMichigan.
Incwadi, amaphoyisa anqabile ukwenaba ngayo kodwa athi ayayihlola, ithe uMcRae ubengumholi weqembu lababulali abangu-20. Kodwa iziphathimandla zithi uphenyo, okuhlanganisa nezingxoxo noyise woshayasibhamu, othe indodana yakhe ayinabo abangani futhi ivame ukuba yodwa ekamelweni layo, ithole ukuthi isimangalo abukho ubufakazi.
Le ncwadi ibiqukethe izinsongo ezibhekiswe kumabhizinisi amaningana, okuhlanganisa nendawo yokugcina impahla lapho ushayasibhamu kukholakala ukuthi ubengumsebenzi futhi kubonakala sengathi unezinkinga nabasebenzi.
Leli nothi liphinde lakhuluma ngesonto nesifunda sesikole e-Ewing, NJ Amaphoyisa awazange aphawule ngesonto noma kungani umdubuli enza izinsongo. ngokumelene nesifunda sesikolengaphandle kokuthi “wayenokuxhumana okuthile eNew Jersey, kodwa lokho kwakuyiminyaka edlule.”
Isithombe sokugadwa sikaMcRae esatshalaliswa eziteshini zezindaba zasendaweni nasezinkundleni zokuxhumana sibe nesandla ekusizeni abomthetho ukuthi bathole ushayasibhamu, kodwa imibuzo isasele ngohlelo lwezokuphepha lwesikhungo nokuthi kungani kuthathe amahora amathathu ukukhipha isithombe.
Ushayasibhamu ubeshiye eBerkey Hall kanye nenyunyana yabafundi, lapho bekuhlaselwa khona, ngesikhathi kufika amaphoyisa, kusho uRozman. Amaphoyisa ahlunga izithombe ezivela ezinkulungwaneni zamakhamera onogada esikhungweni sonkana ukuze alandelele umnyakazo wakhe ngaphambi kokuthola isithombe soshayasibhamu, obegqoke izicathulo ezibomvu, ijakhethi ye-jean kanye nekepisi le-baseball ye-navy enobrim olula. Lesi sithombe sisatshalaliswa emphakathini ngo-11:18 ebusuku I-tipster ingene ngo-11:35 ebusuku Amaphoyisa abengakasidaluli isikhathi esiqondile somnyakazo woshayasibhamu.
“Abantu bangangabaza isikhathi, [but] lesi bekuyisigameko esiqhubekayo, esiyinkimbinkimbi,” kusho uRozman. IMichigan State University ibisebenza kusukela ekwindla ukuze ibuyekeze uhlelo lwayo lwezokuphepha futhi ivumele ukuqapha kwekhampasi ngesikhathi sangempela, kusho izikhulu.
Amaphoyisa nawo abengakaqiniseki ubuhlobo phakathi kwenyuvesi nomdubuli obehlala eLansing noyise.
UChief Ellery Sosbee woMnyango Wamaphoyisa eLansing uthe umdubuli ube nemithetho eminingi yokwephula umthetho womgwaqo phakathi kuka-2006 no-2007 futhi waboshwa ngo-2019 esolwa ngokuphatha isikhali esifihliwe; walivuma icala elincane, waliqeda unyaka wonke.
Isikhali sesigameko sango-2019 sisezitokisini zamaphoyisa, kusho uSosbee.
Abomthetho bathi baphinde bapequlula emzini womdubuli ngoMsombuluko kusihlwa, lapho bafike balanda khona umakhalekhukhwini, amajenali nemibhalo, namabhokisi angamamilimitha ayi-9.

Abafundi abahlanu basalaliswe esibhedlela; oyedwa uzinzile kanti abane basesimweni esibucayi, kusho izikhulu. Abafundi baseBerkey Hall, ibhilidi lezemfundo okwakuyindawo yokuhlasela kokuqala, basize ngokunikeza usizo kulabo ababelimele ngaphambi kokuba abezimo eziphuthumayo bafike endaweni yesigameko.
Amagama alabo abasesibhedlela abengakadalulwa yizikhulu ngenxa yokuhlonipha imindeni, kusho amaphoyisa enyuvesi.
“Kuyangijabulisa ukuthi sibona izimpawu zokuthuthuka kwabanye babafundi bethu, futhi isizwe sakithi saseSparta siyaqhubeka nokuthumela imicabango emihle komunye nomunye wabo, emindenini yabo,” kusho uTeresa K. Woodruff, umongameli wesikhashana weSifundazwe saseMichigan.
Amakilasi asamisiwe ngeSonto, kodwa amahhovisi enyuvesi avuliwe ngemuva kokuthi ikhampasi ibisebenza ngohlelo olushintshiwe, kusho uWoodruff.
I-Berkey Hall izohlala ivaliwe kuyo yonke isemester esele. Abaphathi banquma ukuthi bazoyivula yini kabusha inyunyana yabafundi, indawo okuhlaselwe kuyo okwesibili, kusho uWoodruff.
“Siyazi njengesikhungo sinomsebenzi onzima osihlalele,” kusho yena.
Izinkulungwane abantu bebehambele umlindelo ngoLwesithathu ebusuku e-Rock, enye yezikhumbuzo ezindala kakhulu zale nyuvesi, eyayipendwe ngamagama athi “Njalo UngumSpartan,” futhi inamagama abafundi abathathu ababulawa kulokhu kuhlasela. UHulumeni waseMichigan uGretchen Whitmer, umqeqeshi webhasikidi wabesilisa weSifundazwe saseMichigan u-Tom Izzo kanye nabaholi babafundi bethula amazwi.
Isigameko sokudubula esenzeke eMichigan State senzeke cishe eminyakeni emihlanu kuya osukwini ngemuva kwesibhicongo saseMarjory Stoneman Douglas High School eParkland, eFla., sashiya abantu abangu-17 beshonile – isigameko esasusa igagasi lezishoshovu, elaliholwa abasindile, ukuthi baqhulule isibhamu esiqinile. imithetho ezweni lonke njengoba bafunga ukuthi “ngeke baphinde.”
Yenzeke futhi ngamamayela angu-81 ukusuka ngoNovemba 2021 Ukudubula kwe-Oxford High School e-Oxford, eMich.lapho kushone khona abantu abane kwathi abanye balimala kanzima.
Abanye balabo abasinde esibhicongweni sase-Oxford ngabafundi baseMichigan State abaphinde bazithola bebanjwe uvalo ngesikhathi umdubuli ehlasela esikoleni sabo.
Phakathi kwabo bekukhona u-Emma Riddle, umfundi owenza unyaka wokuqala enza izifundo zomlando nezabesifazane, obekhuluma eCapitol yesifundazwe ngoLwesithathu.
“Ngikhathele,” kusho Riddle, owayesesikoleni esiphakeme ngesikhathi sokudubula kwe-Oxford. “Ngicikekile ukuthi ngiyazi ukuthi yini ezayo — sengikhathele ngiyaphinda futhi ngicela abameli bethu babeke izimpilo zethu phambili. Siyafa. Thina, abantwana base-United States of America, siyafa nsuku zonke. Bangaki abazofa ingakakwaneli wena sukuma wenze okuthile ngakho?”
Ngokusho kwe Ingobo yomlando yodlame lwezibhamu, isizindalwazi esizimele se-inthanethi esilandelela udlame lwezibhamu kusetshenziswa amaphoyisa, uhulumeni, abezindaba kanye neminye imininingwane yomphakathi, kube nezigameko zokudubula eziyi-72 e-United States kuze kube manje kulo nyaka, okuhlanganisa ukudubula ngoLwesithathu ebusuku enxanxatheleni yezitolo e-El Paso eyenzeka eduze nendawo ye-a Isibhicongo sobandlululo sango-2019 e-Walmart eyabulala abantu abangu-23.
Whitmer, iDemocrat, waphinda wafona kubenzi bomthetho bombuso – namaDemocrats manje alawula womabili la magumbi – kuleli sonto ukuze kuphasiswe izindlela eziqinile zokulawula izibhamu, okuhlanganisa ukuhlola kwangemuva kwendawo yonke, imithetho yokugcinwa okuphephile nemithetho yohlu eyeqisayo, noma imithetho “yefulegi elibomvu”, evumela ukuqiniswa komthetho, namalungu omndeni kwamanye amacala, ezinkantolo zezikhalazo ukuthi zivimbele okwesikhashana umuntu osenkingeni ekutholeni isibhamu.
I-Everytown for Gun Safety, inhlangano evimbela udlame lwezibhamu, iklelisa iMichigan 24th esizweni ngomthetho wayo wezibhamu. Nakuba umbuso udinga imvume yokuthenga izibhamu kanye namarekhodi okuthengisa ukuze athunyelwe kwabomthetho, awunayo imithetho ebalulekile yokuphepha kwezibhamu, ngokusho kwewebhusayithi ye-Alltown.
