英国伦敦威斯敏斯特地方法院周三发布引渡令，正式批准将“维基揭秘”网站创始人朱利安•阿桑奇引渡至美国。请看本报昨日的报道：

Britain’s Westminster Magistrate’s Court issued a formal order Wednesday to extradite WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to the United States to face espionage charges.

…

Assange, 50, is wanted in the United States on allegations of disclosing national defense information following WikiLeaks’ publication of hundreds of thousands of leaked military documents relating to the Afghanistan and Iraq wars a decade ago, which included an Apache helicopter video footage documenting the U.S. military gunning down Reuters journalists and children in Baghdad’s streets in 2007.

报道中的gun down就是“枪击、枪杀”。例如：

The employee was so disgruntled and paranoid that he gunned down his employer.

这个雇员如此不满和偏执，竟枪杀了他的雇主。
