Dallas Pride may be nowhere near as crazy as San Francisco’s, but that’s not always a bad thing.
We’re sure you’ve already heard about the shooting that left a 19-year-old dead and two others injured at SF’s Pink Saturday Pride event last weekend. Now, The San Jose Mercury News is reporting that there’s been another shooting — this time at a vigil for the deceased victim on Monday night.
The shooting was reported at about 8 p.m. near the intersection of Third Street and Quesada Avenue during a neighborhood vigil being held for 19-year-old Stephen Powell, who was shot and killed Saturday during Gay Pride in the city’s Castro District, Officer Samson Chan said.
One victim, a 21-year-old man, was shot through the cheek, Chan said, and the other victim, a 20-year-old man, was shot in the leg. Both victims were taken to the hospital. Their injuries were not expected to be life threatening.
Police don’t believe the initial shooting was a hate crime. Instead, they say it stemmed from of a personal dispute, and a suspect is now in custody.
National Pride month ends tomorrow. In San Francisco, maybe that’s a good thing.
Unfortunately, there was yet another shooting at the vigil for the victims last night. This one has not been classified yet.
@Hardy: Is this not the vigil shooting I refer to in the post?
Sorry, dyslexia moment! Yes you are correct and I am daft!
