宾厄姆顿市政府当天在市政厅召开新闻发布会,向新闻界介绍了枪击事件的初步调查结果。调查显示,枪手名叫吉韦利·翁(Jiverly Voong),居住在宾厄姆顿市附近的约翰逊城。翁此前经常到美国公民协会上语言课,直到今年3月初才中断学习

凶手此前一直在美国IBM公司工作,但在数周前遭到解雇,再加上英语说得不好遭人耻笑,因此情绪非常低落和愤怒,这些有可能与他的作案动机有关。但是,市政官员强调,翁的作案动机目前并不完全清楚,相关调查仍在继续。

Authorities have searched the home of the man they say is responsible for killing 13 people and then killing himself at a Binghamton, New York immigration center. One law enforcement officer, speaking anonymously, says the man's name Jiverly Voong is thought to be an alias. And the area's congressman says he was recently laid off by IBM.
