北角開槍案家屬開腔｜死者無襲擊前科 患思覺失調體會病人苦況 信佛捐款助人
A man surnamed Li who suffered from schizophrenia was shot and subdued by police officers and later died in hospital. His family said he had been ill for seven years but attended regular follow-up appointments and received treatment during that time, and had no record of assault; he “could not bear to hurt even an ant.” The family had previously called the police for help, and officers had successfully taken him to hospital each time, but the latest incident resulted in a death. Li’s mother, who is nearly 70, wept as she said her son had enjoyed helping others during his lifetime, was a devout Buddhist and had donated to charitable organisations. She said she could not accept his unnatural death and hoped society would give him justice: “I lost my son in two minutes—what can I do?”

有團體就北角開槍案發布公開聲明
The group said it was deeply shocked and saddened by the tragedy on 15 September. What should have been a time for family reunion ended with a 38-year-old citizen with a psychiatric history being shot in the chest and killed by police. It expressed its deepest condolences to the families affected, saying the father had urgently sought help in the hope of securing timely care for his son, but the attempt instead resulted in an irreversible tragedy. The group said the heartbreaking incident had prompted reflection on whether the guidelines and skills available to frontline police officers in handling mental-health emergencies could effectively support their work. It said that more appropriate support for people needing help or experiencing mental-health needs could help officers carry out their duties, protect the lives of both sides and maintain public confidence in emergency services. It called on police to conduct a fair and comprehensive investigation and review the relevant existing guidelines and training. It also urged the authorities to ensure transparency in the investigation, and called on the public to continue following the incident and monitor the relevant departments’ handling of the investigation. It said continued reflection, learning, cooperation among different parties and participation by all sectors of society were necessary to prevent another tragedy.
我們對於9月15日發生的悲劇深感震驚和悲傷。這原本是一個是團聚的時刻，而一名 38歲、有精神病紀錄的市民被警察向胸部開槍而逝世，讓我們感到無比痛心。失去親人的痛苦是無法估量的，我們在此向受到此事件影響的家庭致以最深切的慰問。父親因希望能為兒子帶來及時的照護而急切地求助，豈料成了無法逆轉的慘劇。 這令人心碎的事件不僅讓我們痛心，也令我們反思不同前線警員在處理精神健康緊急情況時的指引和技巧是否能有效地支援其工作。如果前線警員能更適切地支援所有需要幫助和有精神健康需求的市民，這不僅能幫助他們順利執行職務、保護雙方的生命安全，還能確保市民對緊急服務的信心。 我們呼籲警方對事件進行公正和全面的調查，檢視現有相關指引和訓練。我們亦促請當局確保調查的透明度，同時呼籲大家繼續關注事件，監察調查相關部門的跟進。而我們亦必須繼續透過反思、學習、各單位的配合和社會各界的參與，避免下個悲劇發生。
