但是,新华社的英文稿中提到了开枪这个敏感的话题。新华社的英文稿翻译成中文是这样的:“消息来源对新华社说,警方接到命令,不得使用武力对付袭击者。但是他们被迫使用了有限的催泪瓦斯,并且鸣枪示警,以驱散暴乱的人群。”
(Sources told Xinhua that policemen were ordered not to use force against the attacker. But they were forced to use a limited amount of tear gas and fired warning shots to disperse the desperate crowds.)
