The transgender performer is the victim of what Halifax police aren't calling a hate crime.
Noir claims that the two men who shot her in the arm came to her door impersonating police officers and demanding to be let in by yelling "->-bleeped-<- ->-bleeped-<-got." Police are weary of labeling it a hate crime because they have suspicions to believe this may have been a drug-related crime, something Noir denies.
