一 | ST. LOUIS -- An off-duty St. Louis County officer accused of displaying his badge and firing into the air at a trick-or-treating event no longer is employed at the agency, a police spokesperson confirmed Monday. Matthew McCulloch was no longer working at the department as of Thursday, St. Louis County Police officer Adrian Washington said in an email. He had been on unpaid administrative leave. Washington declined to comment on whether McCulloch was fired or quit, describing it as a personnel matter.McCulloch is charged with child endangerment, unlawful use of a weapon, armed criminal action and making a terrorist threat during a school-sponsored trunk-or-treating event attended by hundreds of parents and children Oct. 15 in the St. Louis suburb of Kirkwood. Police said McCulloch told multiple attendees that “you are all going to die,” according to the probable cause statement.After a man responded by pushing McCulloch to the ground, police said McCulloch lifted his shirt to show a handgun and his badge. McCulloch then shot into the air at least a dozen times “while shouting that all attendees would die,” police alleged. Trick-or-treaters ran for cover, then police said several people tackled McCulloch and took the gun. McCulloch's lawyer did not immediately return an Associated Press voicemail requesting comment Monday. McCulloch is jailed on a $500,000 bond. A judge will consider his request for a lower bond on Friday.。 (ECNS)-- The Pinglu Canal, China’s first major river-to-sea canal included in a national development plan, began live-ship trials on Wednesday, marking the final major test before the waterway opens to traffic. The trial is the first comprehensive test to cover the canal’s entire navigable route using multiple types of vessels, and is intended to verify navigation safety and operational readiness ahead of its official opening. Four representative vessels ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 metric tons are taking part in the trial along the canal’s main route. Technicians will assess navigation stability, ship lock operations, anchorage areas, service facilities and navigation signaling systems under a range of operating conditions. Construction of the canal is now more than 98% complete. As a key infrastructure project of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor, the Pinglu Canal is scheduled to officially open to traffic in September. (By Helen Mo, intern Lin Qiaochu) 。
