Homophobia Alleged In Workplace Shooting
(Houston, Texas) A Houston city worker accused of shooting a co-worker in what her father claims was retaliation for homophobic bullying has been released on bail.

Natasha Latrice Akins, 24, is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. She was ordered not to have any contact with her alleged victim, Dave Whitfield Jr.

Police say the shooting occurred as the two were clocking in at the Houston Department of Public Works and Engineering. Whitfield was shot six times, suffering wounds to his chest and leg. The injuries are not life-threatening and Whitfield is expected to make a full recovery.

In releasing Akins on $30,000 bail District Judge Mike Anderson warned her to have no contact with Whitfield.
