STOCKTON, Calif. -- A transgender woman was shot and injured by Stockton police after allegedly charging officers with a sword on Sunday, authorities said.
Officers received a report at 7:19 p.m. of a disturbance at an apartment at 828 Dave Brubeck Way.
Police arrived to find 38-year-old Gregory Grooms refusing to come outside and "speaking irrationally," Officer Pete Smith said in a news release.
Since that is considered a deadly weapon, she's lucky she was not shot to death.
