連戰之子助選中彈 馬英九稱不能容忍
The son of a former Taiwanese vice-president was shot in the face at a rally on the outskirts of Taipei last night while campaigning for tomorrow's local elections.
臺灣國民黨名譽主席連戰之子在昨晚臺灣近郊的集會活動中臉部中彈，他是爲第二天的地區選舉出席該活動的。
Hospital officials said Lien Cheng-wen, also known as Sean Lien, 40, the son of Lien Chan, was undergoing emergency surgery but was in a stable condition. The 40-year-old was conscious on arrival and his life is not thought to be in danger.
醫院官方表示現年40歲的連戰之子連勝文在醫院接受了緊急手術，但情況穩定，抵達醫院時神智清醒，沒有生命危險。
Taiwanese media said a 29-year-old man was shot dead at the event. Reports said a man arrested at the scene on suspicion of the shootings was nicknamed "Horseface", suggesting he was probably a gang member, and that the suspect had said his target was a city council candidate for whom Lien was campaigning. Some reports suggested the shooting was not politically related.
臺灣媒體稱有一位29歲的男子被當場擊斃，一位外號“馬臉”的男子因爲有射殺嫌疑而當場被捕。據悉該名男子是黑道幫派成員，並聲稱其襲擊目標是連勝文參加的競選委員會。而有些報道則表示槍擊與政治無關。
Lien is not standing in the elections himself although he serves on the Nationalist party central committee. His family has played a prominent role in the island's politics for decades and his father served in numerous ministerial roles.
連勝文本人並不是參選人，身爲國民黨中間力量爲議員候選人助威。其家族在臺灣政壇頗有影響力，其父連戰曾在內閣身居高職。
President Ma Ying-jeou, who attended the hospital where Lien was being treated, told reporters: "Taiwan is a democracy. We will not tolerate such violence."
馬英九赴連勝文接受治療的醫院探訪，並表示：“臺灣是個民主的地方，我們不能容忍這種暴力行爲的出現。”
Police chiefs said security for tomorrow's elections would be stepped up following the incident.
警局表示第二天的選舉保安會因爲這一事件而加強。
