One gay man was shot in a Columbia Heights restaurant on March 11 and another gay man and a transgender woman were badly beaten on the street the following day in separate incidents during a period of just over 24 hours.
The gay male victims remained hospitalized this week, with one being treated for a bullet wound to his liver and the other awaiting surgery Wednesday afternoon to repair a broken jaw. The transgender woman was treated and released for a head injury after being knocked unconscious.

WASHINGTON - Three reported crimes in two days involving members of the gay and transgender community in D.C. do not appear to be related, according to police.
"It doesn't appear to be a group of folks that's targeting, or a specific group that's targeting this community," says Assistant D.C. Police Chief Peter Newsham.

A D.C. police official said on Thursday that an investigation into the March 11 shooting of a gay man at a Columbia Heights restaurant, which police listed as a hate crime, is "progressing very well" and an arrest in the case is expected soon.
At a news conference outside police headquarters, Assistant Police Chief Peter Newsham, who heads the department's Investigational Services Bureau, said the severe beating and robbery of a gay man and an assault that knocked a transgender woman unconscious one day later were unrelated to the shooting incident.
