【中美创新时报2024 年 6 月 6 日编译讯】（记者温友平编译）贝德福德（Bedford）的一名 24 岁女子当天早些时候报告了惊恐发作，据称，周四早上，当父母接她出去吃早餐时，她钻进了父母的 SUV 后座，开枪打死了父母，震惊了一个安静的郊区。《波士顿环球报》记者John R. Ellement、Ava Berger 和 Tonya Alanez对此作了下述报道。
米德尔塞克斯地区检察官 Marian T. Ryan 告诉记者，上午 9 点刚过，警方接到了杰西卡·卡瓦拉罗（Jessica Cavallaro ）男友父亲在华盛顿街打来的 911 电话，他说，住在那里的一名年轻女子“刚刚回到家里，报告说她枪杀了她的父母”。
据贝德福德警方报告，警察到达现场后，发现一辆白色本田 SUV 停在报警人家对面的草坪上，车内有两名伤者。
坐在驾驶座上的 Thelma Tatten 当场死亡，坐在乘客座上的 Mark Cavallaro 被送往 Lahey 诊所，伤势危及生命。几个小时后，他去世了。当局称，两名受害者均为 56 岁，住在贝德福德。
周四下午，Cavallaro 在康科德地方法院被提审。她对两项谋杀罪、两项使用危险武器造成严重身体伤害的殴打罪以及非法持有枪支罪表示不认罪。
米德尔塞克斯助理地区检察官 Suzanne Wiseman 要求将 Cavallaro 拘留，不得保释。
在报警人报告“被告刚刚杀死了她的父母”后，出警人员发现两名受害者“头部有枪伤”，Wiseman 说。
根据警方报告，卡瓦拉罗当时正在与 24 岁的贾里德·马尔凯西尼约会，与他以及他的父母大卫和乔伊斯·马尔凯西尼住在华盛顿街。
大卫·马尔凯西尼告诉警方，卡瓦拉罗周四下班早早回家，说她正在经历惊恐发作。报告称，她回到自己的房间待了大约半个小时，然后下楼说她要和父母一起出去吃早餐。
卡瓦拉罗离开了房子，但几分钟后就回来了，说：“我刚刚开枪打死了我的父母。”
就在那时，大卫·马尔凯西尼拨打了 911。
马尔凯西尼告诉警方，卡瓦拉罗可能是从家里的保险箱里拿到凶器的，他的儿子也拥有枪支，房子里至少还有四把枪，根据警方报告。
卡瓦拉罗告诉一名逮捕她的警官，她“正在考虑自杀”。警方报告称，她在自杀评估表上的得分为“中等风险”。
警官指出，卡瓦拉罗的睫毛膏因哭泣而变脏，她努力忍住眼泪，并两次失声——一次是在她被告知被控谋杀时，另一次是在与男友通电话时。
卡瓦拉罗的法庭指定律师洛伦佐·佩雷斯表示，他的当事人将接受“辩护方聘请的医生”的医疗评估。
卡瓦拉罗在法庭上坐在佩雷斯旁边。她穿着粉红色的袜子和一件蓝色的大衬衫，眼睛低垂着。她的手腕和脚踝被铐住。
法官林恩·C·布伦德穆尔下令卡瓦拉罗不得保释，并将她的下一次法庭听证会定于 8 月 20 日举行。
佩雷斯说，在法庭之外，这个案件“绝对令人难以置信，难以理解”。
“我认为这里的悲剧在于我们对任何事情都一无所知，”他说。
佩雷斯表示，他还没有机会与他的客户详细交谈。
“这是一场令人心碎的悲剧，但信息匮乏，”佩雷斯说。“所以我现在的工作是收集尽可能多的信息，尽快了解这场可怕的悲剧。”
瑞恩对无谓的枪支暴力表示哀叹。
“这些都是可怕的家庭暴力事件，”瑞恩说。“它们还指出了我们一直在谈论的问题，即枪支的普遍性和枪支的可获得性。过去几周和几个月里，我们遇到的许多事件都涉及枪支落入不该拥有枪支的人手中。”
一位自称克里斯汀的邻居说，她已经在这个地区住了 14 年，认为这个社区很安全。
“听到这样的事情真是令人震惊，”她说。“这太突然了，太疯狂了，不是这里发生的事情。”
她说她从未在街上见过卡瓦拉罗。
另一位自称乔的邻居说，他和卡瓦拉罗是高中同学。
“我和她一起毕业的，”乔说。“我其实不太了解她，她很安静。”
住在街上的 19 岁的佐伊·克莱默说，枪击事件“令人震惊”。
“我有点震惊，”她说。“这绝对非常非常可怕，尤其是因为我们的社区联系非常紧密。”

Bedford woman charged with murder in shooting of parents, authorities say
By John R. Ellement, Ava Berger and Tonya Alanez Globe Staff, Globe Correspondent and Globe Staff,Updated June 6, 2024
BEDFORD — A 24-year-old woman who reported a panic attack earlier in the day, allegedly got into the backseat of her parent’s SUV and shot and killed them both when they picked her up to take her out to breakfast Thursday morning, stunning a quiet suburban neighborhood.
Shortly after 9 a.m., police received a 911 call from Jessica Cavallaro’s boyfriend’s father on Washington Street who said a young woman who lived there had “just come back into the house and reported that she had shot her parents,” Middlesex District Attorney Marian T. Ryan told reporters.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found a white Honda SUV on the lawn across the street from the 911 caller’s home with two wounded people inside, according to a Bedford police report.
Thelma Tatten, who was in the driver’s seat, died at the scene, while Mark Cavallaro, in the passenger’s seat, was taken to Lahey Clinic with life-threatening injuries. He died a few hours later. Both victims were 56 and lived in Bedford, authorities said.
Cavallaro was arraigned Thursday afternoon in Concord District Court. She pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder, two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury, and illegal gun possession.
Middlesex Assistant District Attorney Suzanne Wiseman requested that Cavallaro be held without bail.
After the 911 caller reported that “the defendant had just killed her parents,” responding officers found the two victims with “gunshot wounds to the head,” Wiseman said.
According to a police report, Cavallaro was dating Jarred Marchesini, 24, and lived with him and his parents, David and Joyce Marchesini, on Washington Street.
David Marchesini told police that Cavallaro came home early from work Thursday and said she was having a panic attack. She went to her room for about half an hour then came downstairs and said she was going out to breakfast with her parents, the report said.
Cavallaro left the house but returned within minutes and said, “I just shot my parents.”
That’s when David Marchesini called 911.
Marchesini told police Cavallaro may have gotten the murder weapon from a safe in his home, and that his son also owned firearms and there were at least four more guns in the house, according to the police report.
Cavallaro told an arresting officer that she was “thinking about suicide.” She scored “medium risk” on a suicide evaluation form, the police report said.
The officer noted that Cavallaro’s mascara was smeared from crying, she fought to hold back tears, and twice broke down — once when she was told she was being charged with murder and again during a phone call with her boyfriend.
Cavallaro’s court-appointed lawyer, Lorenzo Perez, said his client will be undergoing a medical evaluation with a “defense retained doctor.”
Cavallaro sat next to Perez in court. She work pink socks, a large blue shirt, and kept her eyes downcast. She was handcuffed at the wrists and shackled at the ankles.
Judge Lynn C. Brendemuehl ordered that Cavallaro be held without bail and set her next court hearing for Aug. 20.
Outside of court, Perez said, the case is “absolutely mind boggling and difficult to understand.”
”I think the tragedy here is one in which we’re all not knowing anything about anything,” he said.
Perez said he had not yet had a chance to speak with his client in detail.
“It’s a heartbreaking tragedy, but a dearth of information,” Perez said. “So my job right now is going to be to collect as much information to try to understand this awful tragedy as soon as possible.”
Ryan lamented the senseless gun violence.
“These are horrific incidents of domestic violence,” Ryan said. “They also point to what we talk about all the time, which is the prevalence of guns and the availability of firearms. Many of the incidents we’ve had in the last few weeks and last couple of months have involved firearms in the hands of people who should not have one.”
One neighbor, who identified herself as Christine, said that she has lived in the area for 14 years and considered the neighborhood to be safe.
“It was shocking to hear something like this,” she said. “It is something out of the blue, crazy, and not something that happens here.”
She said she had never seen Cavallaro on the street.
Another neighbor, who identified himself as Joe, said he went to high school with Cavallaro.
”I graduated with her,” Joe said. “I didn’t really know her that well she was very quiet.”
Zoe Kramer, 19, who lives down the street, said the shootings were “startling.”
”I’m a little bit jarred,” she said. “It’s definitely very, very scary especially since our community is pretty connected.”
