Shootings in the United States have occurred frequently, bringing many disasters to the local people and hitting families deeply.
On August 29, according to official sources, on August 28, local time, a shooting occurred near the Cowdil laboratory at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA.
According to the news released on the school's official website, the school's police received an alert at 13 p.m. on August 28, saying that there were guns on campus, and the suspect had been arrested at 14 o'clock, and the campus alarm was lifted at 16 o'clock.
After the school issued the relevant notice, corresponding protective measures were quickly taken, the entire staff and students were transferred, and all courses and campus activities were suspended for two days to ensure the personal safety of all teachers and students.
Unfortunately, one faculty member was killed in the shooting, but fortunately no one else was injured.
At present, the police have arrested the suspect, who is a Chinese doctor from China.
The Chinese doctor, named Qi Tailei, was admitted to Wuhan University, a prestigious domestic university, in 2011, and chose to continue his studies after graduation, studied at Louisiana State University, and obtained a master's degree in materials science in 2021.
He went on to pursue his Ph.D. and was accepted to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he is currently enrolled in the Department of Applied Physical Sciences, where he served as a research assistant in 2022.
Such a talented student, who should have a bright future, now has a criminal mind and has fallen into the abyss of darkness. Once he also swam in the ocean of knowledge, but now he is guilty of a serious crime and destroys his future.
At the same time, the issue of gun control is also one of the most controversial issues in American society. According to relevant data, the number of people privately owned by firearms and ammunition in the United States ranks first in the world. This is one of the reasons why shootings occur from time to time in the United States.
Relevant media have reported relevant data, according to statistics, the number of guns owned by the American people is about 200 million to 350 million. At the same time, the number of shooting cases in the United States is also increasing year by year.
There are many more such vicious incidents, and four presidents in the United States have been shot and killed. In addition to this, on May 14, 2022, a shooting occurred in a large supermarket in New York, USA, which killed 10 people and injured 3 others, and the mother of one of the victims personally ran to the House of Representatives of the US Congress to strongly denounce the problem of possession of firearms and ammunition.
Coincidentally, on April 16, 2007, the most tragic school shooting in the history of the United States occurred in the teaching building of Virginia Tech, which killed 33 people and injured 17.
The campus is supposed to be a place of laughter and laughter, where students can learn knowledge, learn new skills, and better transition into society.
But the shooting also raises many questions, how should campus safety be guaranteed, and what should the government do?
For schools, first of all, some security measures should be strengthened, more police personnel should be equipped, and people from outside the campus should be strictly screened when entering the campus.
Secondly, teachers and students should strengthen their awareness of safety protection, and learn how to protect themselves and escape when they encounter danger.
The government should make corresponding regulations and improve the legal system. The United States is an open country, people's freedom is relatively high, so more should strengthen management, especially the gun problem, repeated shootings should sound a wake-up call to the government, can not joke with people's lives, to listen to the people, society can be stable and prosperous for a long time.
In addition, it is also a heavy blow to the family of the deceased. The deceased was innocent, implicating the entire family in the future to suffer the pain of the death of their loved ones.
At the same time, the suspect's family will also be affected in the future, his parents and relatives may also be spurned by society, and the crimes committed against their children may also cause psychological shadows.
And why did this Chinese man have a bright future and not go, but embarked on the road of crime?
First of all, for a doctoral student, it is a rare top talent in the society, so there will be very strict requirements for his research topic and graduation.
Therefore, some people believe that the idea of crime may have been born in order to take revenge on society because of difficulties in academic research.
Secondly, psychological problems can also generate criminal thoughts.
Therefore, for us adults, we must keep our moral bottom line, do not touch the legal red line, and understand that life cannot be smooth sailing, go through hardships to go to a higher level, and at the same time, we must understand that small losses can achieve great things.
All in all, we express our deep condolences to the deceased and hope that the University of North Carolina can survive this difficult period and strengthen safety precautions to avoid such incidents from happening again.
