D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray joined LGBT activists on Friday in expressing shock and outrage over news that an off-duty District police officer allegedly fired a pistol at three transgender women and two male friends while the group was sitting in a car on a city street.

"So I think it's fair to say a lot of us are really pissed off," he said. "It's very, very frustrating. We had conversations with Chief Lanier over the past several weeks, over the past several years, and nothing changes – nothing changes," Eldmen said. "So this is a moment in which we can finally say enough – we're not going to keep doing this."
