Alexander Wolfe, 39, suffered a fractured skull and multiple lacerations during the Aug. 10 attack at his South Hill home. Police arrested 25-year-old Shawn D. Jones, who is facing a first-degree assault charge. Prosecutors have also asked police to investigate whether the incident could support hate crime charges.

According to court documents and Wolfe’s account, the violence began around 4 a.m. when Wolfe woke to breaking glass and banging outside his home. When he went downstairs, he discovered someone smashing his glass storm door.

Wolfe’s fiancée reportedly heard Jones say something resembling “save the kids” while damaging the property. Wolfe and his fiancée also said they heard the word “transgender” before the attack. Small Pride flags were displayed outside the home.

    Won’t be difficult either - declare people are suffering from gender dysphoria, make that “mental condition” part of the mental health gun control restrictions.

      Hey now, people being confused about their gender is extremely dangerous! If I didn’t know I was a dude I might wonder about the ambiguity of gender expression and open fire without realizing. Dangerous stuff! Meanwhile, don’t worry about the perpetually enraged Trump supporters with itchy trigger fingers, nothing to see here!
