Local media has confirmed that a gay police officer was among those shot and wounded Thursday night when a sniper opened fire during a protest in Dallas.
Jesus Retana, a Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) officer for the past 10 years, is recovering at home with his husband, Andrew Moss, a former DART officer who was instrumental in instituting same-sex partner benefits in the department.
The couple has stated they prefer not to do interviews out of fear for their safety.

Tragically five officers were killed in the attack by Micah Xavier Johnson, a U.S. Army Reserve veteran who said he was angry over police violence against minorities.
