Southwest Workers Union Member Critically Injured in Shooting Attack

HeadlineJul 19, 2010

In Texas, a San Antonio-based social justice group says a recent shooting at their headquarters may have been politically motivated. One week ago Sunday, a member of the Southwest Workers Union was critically injured when assailants fired at least fifteen rounds at the group’s living quarters. The victim, James Domingue, remains hospitalized. No arrests have been made in the case, and police say they believe gang members mistakenly fired at the home. But the Southwest Workers Union says they fear the attack may have been motivated by the group’s organizing against a state effort to pass an anti-immigrant measure similar to Arizona’s.
