أعلنت شرطة فيرفاكس بولاية فيرجينيا الأمريكية مقتل أفغاني في مواجهة مع رجال الأمن بعد إطلاق النار عليهم، مؤكدة في فيديو يوثق الحادثة أن المواطن الأفغاني جمال ولي (36 عاماً) كان يعمل مترجماً مع القوات الأمريكية في أفغانستان.
وذكرت الشرطة خلال استعراضها للفيديو الذي كان مثبتاً على زي الشرطي أن ولي تم إيقافه من قبل أحد الضباط في 23 أبريل الماضي بسبب مخالفة مرورية تتعلق بتجاوز السرعة المحددة، مشيرة إلى أنه رفض التعاون وأخبر الضابط بأنه مسلح.
وعبّر الافغاني عن استيائه من طريقة التعامل معه في الولايات المتحدة رغم خدمته مع القوات الأمريكية، لافتاً إلى أنه لا يحمل رخصة قيادة.
واشتكى ولي من وضعه القانوني رغم أنه قُتل بسبب خدمته مع الأمريكيين، وصرخ قائلاً: «كان يجب أن أخدم مع طالبان، إنهم أفضل منكم».
وأشار إلى أنه لا يستطيع العودة إلى أفغانستان بسبب تعاونه السابق مع القوات الأمريكية ليواصل تهديده للضابط الذي طلب دعم إضافي، وبعد وصول القوة المساندة، حاول أحد الضباط الإمساك بمعصم ولي، إلا أن الأخير سحب سلاحه وأطلق النار على اثنين من رجال الشرطة، ما أدى إلى إصابتهما في اليدين، وخلال الاشتباك رد شرطي ثالث بإطلاق النار على ولي، ما أدى إلى إصابته بأربع طلقات ونقله إلى المستشفى وتوفي متأثراً بجراحه.
وأوضح رئيس شرطة فيرفاكس، كيفين ديفيس، خلال مؤتمر صحفي أن رجلَي الشرطة أصيبا في ذراعيهما، كما أصابت إحدى الرصاصات سيارة متوقفة على الجانب الآخر من الشارع، معرباً عن أسفه لمقتل ولي الذي كان متزوجاً وله أربعة أطفال.
وأشاد ديفيس بتصرف الضابط الذي بادر بإطلاق النار لإنقاذ حياة زميليه ما أدى إلى عدم مقتل أحد من الضباط.
في غضون ذلك قال مقربون من الأفغاني إنه كان يمر بحالة نفسية سيئة، وأصيب باضطراب ما بعد الصدمة، وتم إهماله مع أنه أنقذ جنوداً أمريكيين خلال دورية لهم في أفغانستان.

The Fairfax Police Department in Virginia, USA, announced the death of an Afghan man during a confrontation with law enforcement after he opened fire on them, confirming in a video documenting the incident that the Afghan citizen, Jamal Wali (36 years old), had worked as a translator for American forces in Afghanistan.
The police stated during their presentation of the video, which was recorded on the officer's body camera, that Wali was stopped by one of the officers on April 23 due to a traffic violation related to speeding, noting that he refused to cooperate and told the officer that he was armed.
The Afghan expressed his dissatisfaction with how he was treated in the United States despite his service with American forces, pointing out that he did not have a driver's license.
Wali complained about his legal status despite being killed because of his service with the Americans, shouting, "I should have served with the Taliban; they are better than you."
He indicated that he could not return to Afghanistan due to his previous cooperation with American forces and continued to threaten the officer who requested additional support. After the backup arrived, one of the officers attempted to grab Wali's wrist, but he drew his weapon and shot two police officers, injuring them in the hands. During the exchange, a third officer returned fire at Wali, resulting in him being hit by four bullets and transported to the hospital, where he died from his injuries.
Fairfax Police Chief Kevin Davis explained during a press conference that the two police officers were injured in their arms, and one of the bullets struck a parked car on the other side of the street, expressing his regret over Wali's death, who was married and had four children.
Davis praised the actions of the officer who initiated gunfire to save the lives of his colleagues, which prevented any of the officers from being killed.
Meanwhile, acquaintances of the Afghan said he was going through a bad mental state and suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, having been neglected despite having saved American soldiers during a patrol in Afghanistan.
