Transgender woman shot multiple times in hate crime, Dallas police say
A transgender woman was shot multiple times in an apparent hate crime late Friday in northwest Dallas, police say.
According to police, the shooting took place just after 11 p.m. Friday in the 11000 block of Dennis Road, north of Royal Lane.
A man pulled alongside the victim and yelled "a number of slurs about her gender identity," police said, then fired multiple shots. She was struck multiple times in the chest and arm.
Officers were unable to speak with the woman until Sunday because of her injuries. Police are investigating the shooting as a hate crime.
