据哥伦比亚广播公司(CBS)附属机构WWL报道,一名路易斯安那州国民警卫队士兵在新奥尔良法国区波旁街执行巡逻任务时,将其军用步枪遗落在了一间浴室里。报道援引国民警卫队发言人的话,证实了这一事件。
“武器已归还路易斯安那州国民警卫队,该士兵及相关事件正在内部处理中。”诺埃尔·柯林斯中校表示。
WWL称,这把枪出现在社交媒体上流传的一张照片中,照片显示一把AR-15步枪靠在水槽旁。据悉,这张照片是周日晚上一名国民警卫队员在波旁街拉菲特酒店(Lafitte Hotel)内使用浴室后拍摄的,该酒店位于法国区中心地带。
CBS新闻已联系路易斯安那州国民警卫队以获取更多信息。
遗落步枪的国民警卫队员是特朗普政府在12月底部署到新奥尔良的350名士兵之一。据路易斯安那州国民警卫队称,在路易斯安那州州长杰夫·兰德里的指挥下,这些士兵自圣诞节后便开始协助联邦和当地执法部门维持城市治安,预计将持续驻守至2月底。一年前,波旁街在新年前夜庆祝活动中发生恐怖袭击,造成14人死亡,此次部署正值事件周年纪念期间。
当地居民在看到该士兵遗落步枪的照片后表示担忧。居住在法国区、并联合创立了一个旨在减少该地区犯罪和加强安全的社区特别小组的鲍勃·西姆斯(Bob Simms)称,这是一个不幸的错误。
“这些国民警卫队员在此驻守了很长一段时间,他们每天工作非常长的时间,”西姆斯告诉WWL,“所以,这是个失误。很遗憾发生了这样的事,但错误在所难免。”
National Guard soldier leaves rifle in New Orleans bathroom

A Louisiana National Guard soldier left his service rifle inside a Bourbon Street bathroom in New Orleans’ French Quarter, where he had been on patrol, CBS affiliate WWL reported, citing a National Guard spokesperson who confirmed the incident.
“The weapon was returned to the Louisiana National Guard, and the soldier and incident are being handled internally,” said Lt. Col. Noel Collins.
The weapon appeared in a photo that surfaced on social media, which showed an AR-15 rifle leaning against a sink, according to WWL. It was taken inside the Lafitte Hotel on Bourbon Street, at the center of the French Quarter, after a guardsman used the bathroom on Sunday night.
CBS News has reached out to the Louisiana National Guard for more information.
The guardsman who left his rifle behind is among the 350 soldiers who were deployed to New Orleans by the Trump administration at the end of December. Under the command of Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, they have supported federal and local law enforcement in the city since just after Christmas and are expected to remain there through the end of February, according to the Louisiana National Guard. Their arrival came one year after a terror attack during a New Year’s Eve celebration on Bourbon Street killed 14 people.
Local residents said they were concerned when they saw the photo of the guardsman’s rifle. Bob Simms, who lives in the French Quarter and co-founded a neighborhood task force that aims to reduce crime and increase security in the area, called it an unfortunate mistake.
“These guardsmen are here for an extended period of time and they’re working many, many hours a day,” Simms told WWL. “So, it’s a mistake. It’s a pity it happened but mistakes happen.”
