维贾亚瓦达: 周六，美国爱荷华州西得梅因市，一泰卢固家庭四名成员在家中被枪杀。

Sunkara Chandrasekhar (44), his wife Lavanya (41), and their two sons, aged 15 and 10, were shot and killed, a police statement said. The family belonged to Tsundur town in Andhra Pradesh's Guntur district and had been living in the US for at least two decades.

警方的一份声明称，44岁的桑卡拉·钱德拉塞卡、41岁的妻子拉万妮亚以及他们的两个儿子（分别为15岁和10岁）被枪杀。这家人来自安得拉邦贡图尔区Tsundur镇，在美国生活了至少20年。

On Saturday, at around 10 am, a local resident dialed 911 after being informed about gunshots being heard in Chandrasekhar's house. Police officials found the four lying dead with gunshot wounds. Sources close to the family said they had moved into the house in March.

周六上午10点左右，一名当地居民听到钱德拉塞卡家中传来的枪声后拨打了911。警方发现四名死者躺在地上，身上有枪伤。据知情人士透露，他们于今年3月搬进这栋房子。

Speaking to TOI, a family friend, who is also a member of the Telugu Association of North America (TANA), said on condition of anonymity that Chandrasekhar has been suffering from depression for a while and that there might have been a dispute in the family.

该家庭一位不愿透露姓名的朋友（也是北美泰卢固协会(TANA)的成员），在接受《印度时报》采访时表示，钱德拉塞卡患有抑郁症已经有一段时间了，家里可能发生过争吵。

In an Instagram post, local police explained that at the time of the shooting other family members, including two adults and two children, were living in the house as guests. After discovering the bodies, one of them rushed out looking for help. He found someone who then called 911. The police have not revealed the identities of the guests.

当地警方在Instagram上发布一篇帖子解释称，枪击案发生时，还有其他亲属在该家庭做客。发现尸体后，其中一人冲出去求救。他找到一个人帮忙拨打了911。警方尚未透露客人的身份。

Chandrasekhar worked for the Iowa department of public safety's technology services bureau. Sources added that Lavanya was a software developer. Friends and acquaintances cited his work excellence certificates and said he was a hard-working employee.

钱德拉塞卡在爱荷华州公共安全部门的技术服务局工作。消息人士还说，拉万妮亚是一名软件开发员。朋友和熟人都称赞她工作出色，是一名勤奋的员工。

TANA members got in touch with family members in Tsundur town and were told that everyone was in shock.

Whether it is US or Australia such crime related news usually relate only to Punjabis and Andhraites. What is the reason behind this? I had a lot of Andhra colleagues and most openly flaunted they took huge dowries for migrating overseas and live larger than normal lives...these colleagues like their Punjabi brethren could do anything to migrate overseas or get and sustain work and a living in foreign country many having strong political connections back home

无论是在美国还是澳大利亚，此类犯罪通常与旁遮普人和安得拉邦人有关。这背后的原因是什么?我有很多来自安德拉邦的同事，他们经常炫耀的是，安得拉邦人移民到海外，过着奢侈生活……他们和旁遮普人一样，不惜一切移居海外，其中许多人在国内有强大的政治背景。

It "might" have been family feud. The police is investigating still. So obviously this kind of headline might be a mistake too

这“可能”是家族恩怨导致的。警方仍在调查中。显然，这种标题也不妥当。

This incident should not be made a "racism" case. It seems that it was a family feud and on the other hand, thousands of white people are murdered by white people. Indian media should not make every news concerning Indians make sensational. It does harm to Indian community.

这不应该归为“种族主义”案件，似乎是一场家庭纷争。不也有成千上万的白人被白人谋杀。印度媒体不应该把所有关于印度人的新闻都写得耸人听闻。这对印度社区是不利的

There is a growing racial hatred inflamed by Trump. Resurgence of KKK, attacks on Jews and Indians is the halmark. What makes Indians more vulnerable than blacks and whites, is the brown skin color. As soon as a black or white sees your brown color they know your are not American, though you may have been born in US/

特朗普不断煽动种族仇恨。三K党死灰复燃，对犹太人和印度人的袭击就是证明。

印度人的棕色皮肤，使其比黑人和白人更易遭受攻击。只要黑人或白人看到你是棕色皮肤，他们就知道你不是美国人，尽管你可能是在美国出生的。

What a dumb remark. KKK was founded by de ocratic party not trump. When Indians come to USA and tried to change culture by looting government and committing all kind of tax violations makes anyone in USA crazy.

多荒谬。三K党是由民*党创立的，不是特朗普。印度人来到美国，各种抢劫，各种逃税漏税，试图改变美国文化，所有美国人都会发疯的。
