华盛顿讯——美国司法部周三对一名德州男子提起袭击和武器相关罪名指控,此前该男子据称在国家广场向特勤局特工开枪并打伤一名路人。
现年45岁的迈克尔·马克思来自德克萨斯州米德兰市,他面临多项指控:使用危险武器袭击联邦官员、在暴力犯罪中使用并发射枪支,以及作为已定罪重刑犯非法持有枪支。
这起事件发生于5月4日华盛顿纪念碑附近,当时副总统JD·万斯的车队正离开白宫,途经西南第15街和独立大道区域,该区域游客众多。
“我们将证实,这名被告将非法枪支带入华盛顿特区核心地带,在拥挤的十字路口附近向特勤局警员开火,并击中了一名正与家人过马路的无辜路人,”美国检察官珍妮娜·皮尔罗在一份声明中说道。
一份由特勤局特工提交给联邦法院的宣誓书详细描述了这起被指控事件的经过。文件显示,一名便衣特工发现马克思在人行道上行走,“似乎在身体右侧藏有枪支”。
根据宣誓书,身着制服的警员随后赶到,在一个十字路口的一群行人中发现了马克思。文件中附带的监控摄像头静态画面显示,三辆特勤局标记车辆驶至一处人行横道:

宣誓书称,当特勤局警员靠近马克思时,他据称“伸手进腰带,在横穿马路时掏出了枪支”。宣誓书提到,马克思过马路后“转身朝一名特勤局特工的方向开枪”,当时一名平民目击者就在该特工身后。据宣誓书所述,这颗子弹击中了这名未具名目击者的腿部。

起诉文件显示,特勤局特工进行了还击,击中了马克思的“手部、左臂和上腹部”。
在马克思被送往医院的途中,宣誓书指控他“发表了诸如‘去他的白宫’以及‘杀了我,杀了我,杀了我’之类的言论”。
起诉文件显示,马克思没有在华盛顿特区携带枪支的许可证,并且曾在2011年因贩毒在佛罗里达州被定罪。
截至周三下午,公开的法院案卷中尚未列出未来的出庭日期。
Feds charge Texas man who allegedly shot at Secret Service agent on National Mall

Washington— The Justice Department on Wednesday charged a Texas man with assault and weapons offenses, after he allegedly fired his gun toward a Secret Service agent and wounded a bystander on the National Mall.
Michael Marx, 45, of Midland, Texas, faces charges of assaulting federal officers with a dangerous weapon, using and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence and unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
The incident took place on May 4 near the Washington Monument, as the motorcade for Vice President JD Vance was departing the White House and passing through the area of 15th Street and Independence Avenue SW, which is heavily populated with tourists.
“We will prove this defendant carried an illegal firearm into the heart of Washington, D.C., opened fire at Secret Service officers near a crowded intersection, and shot an innocent bystander who was simply crossing the street with his family,” U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said in a statement.
An affidavit filed by a Secret Service agent in federal court lays out the alleged details of the incident. The filing says a plainclothes agent spotted Marx walking along the sidewalk, “appearing to conceal a firearm on the right side of his body.”
Uniformed officers responded, and encountered Marx among a group of other pedestrians at an intersection, according to the affidavit. Still images from surveillance cameras included in the filing show three marked Secret Service vehicles pulling up to a crosswalk:

The affidavit says that as Secret Service officers approached Marx, he allegedly “reached into his waistband and produced a firearm while running across the street.” Once he crossed the street, the affidavit says, Marx “turned and fired his firearm in the direction” of a Secret Service officer while a civilian witness was behind the officer. That shot hit the unnamed witness in the leg, according to the affidavit.

The Secret Service officer returned fire, charging documents allege, hitting Marx in the “hand, left arm, and upper abdomen.”
While Marx was being transported to the hospital, the affidavit alleges that he “made a statement to the effect of ‘F**k the White House’ and ‘Kill me, kill me, kill me.’”
The charging document says Marx did not have a license to carry a gun in D.C. and was previously convicted of drug trafficking in Florida in 2011.
There was not a future court appearance listed on public court dockets as of Wednesday afternoon.
