周三一辆装运非法烟花的炸弹装运车爆炸,导致至少17人受伤,其中包括9名洛杉矶警察局的警察!
在周三晚间的新闻发布会上,洛杉矶警察局局长 Michel Moore 说警察接获报警到一个住家,在房子里找到了几千磅非法烟花,还有临时的爆炸装置,并抓捕了一名嫌犯。随后洛杉矶警察局用炸弹装运车装运这些非法烟花,结果烟花爆炸,警察局长表示:“我们是遵守规则来操作的,但中途车里发生了一些事,一些不该发生的事,我们现在还不知道原因。我们会找出原因。”
在爆炸发生之前,警察局发推表示拆弹小组捕获了超过5000磅非法烟花,并且计划将运送这些烟花至安全的地方。
Our Bomb Squad officers were in the process of seizing over 5,000 pounds of illegal fireworks in the area of 27th Street and San Pedro. Some of the fireworks were being stored in our Bomb Squad trailer as a precautionary measure. Unknown at this time what caused an explosion.

在17个受伤的人中,有16个人被送往医院。受伤的人中有9名洛杉矶警察局的警察以及1名美国烟酒爆炸物管理局(ATF)的官员,他们都是受的轻伤。此外,还有几处民宅和一幢大楼受到爆炸事件的影响。
嫌犯的名字是 Arturo Cejas III,嫌犯已经被抓捕,警方怀疑他犯有非法拥有烟花和爆炸装置罪,以及将孩童置于危险之中的罪名,因为在现场屋子里还发现两个孩子。

这件事就发生在独立日前几天,而周三洛杉矶也举办了第一次买回烟花的活动,目的也是要减少独立日长周末的非法烟花燃放。
The LAPD supports this event and asks people to be safe, help prevent fires during a dry & bad fire season. Let's please be considerate of our neighbors, veterans with PTSD, and pets. Turn in your illegal fireworks & receive a free gift. pic.twitter.com/DV7HvTzasF
