NBC晚间新闻 美国一大学因学生命案关停兄弟会

Tonight shockwaves through the campus at San Diego State University after the death of Dylan Hernandez. It's horrifying¹ and I feel terrible for the parents. The 19 year old college freshman² was rushed to a hospital the day after attending a Phi Gamma Delta³ fraternity event Wednesday night. The university reacted swiftly suspending 14 fraternities after a campus police investigation⁴ uncovered possible misconduct at the fraternity, saying in part the university will keep organizations under suspension while it considers next steps. The fraternity responded saying Phi Gamma Delta is working with the university and local authorities to understand the circumstances surrounding this tragic⁵ accident.

This is not the first time Phi Gamma Delta has found itself punished by the University. Two years ago the fraternity was put under probation⁶ after violating alcohol related policies. Tonight the mother of Timothy Piazza⁷, who died from a hazing⁸ incident at Penn State in 2017, posted her support for the Hernandez family. When you send your child off to college you expect them to come home. He should have been able to come home to them. We're told Hernandez's family said their goodbyes on Sunday night. Today the university president offering prayers in support to students while the investigation into what happened here ramps⁹ up.

今晚，在学生迪伦·埃尔南德斯死后，冲击波席卷了圣地亚哥州立大学的校园。这令人极其震惊，我为那些父母感到难过。周三晚上，19岁的大学新生迪伦参加一个φγδ兄弟会活动后被紧急送往医院。在校园警察调查发现兄弟会可能存在不当行为后，校方迅速做出回应，他们暂停了14个兄弟会的活动。在考虑下一步行动时，该大学将暂时关闭这些兄弟会。φγδ兄弟会做出了回应，他们正与校方和当地警方合作调查，以了解这一悲惨事故的情况。这已经不是φγδ兄弟会第一次被学校惩罚了。两年前，该兄弟会因违反酒精相关政策而被判进入试用期。今晚，蒂莫西·皮亚扎的母亲发贴表示了她对埃尔南德斯一家的支持。蒂莫西·皮亚扎曾于2017年死于宾夕法尼亚州立大学欺辱事件。当你把孩子送到大学时，你盼望着他们回家。他应该回家和家人团聚。我们获知埃尔南德斯的家人于周日晚上表示了告别。今天大学校长为学生们祈祷。同时加大对该事件调查的力度。
