Gay Cop Among Those Shot, Wounded in Dallas<\/b><\/p>\n

\"jesus<\/p>\n

A gay<\/a> police officer was among those shot and wounded on Thursday night when a sniper’s bullets tore through a peaceful protest in downtown Dallas.<\/p>\n

Jesus Retana, 39, has worked as a Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) police officer for 10 years according to The Dallas Morning News. <\/a><\/p>\n

TNCRM reports<\/a> that Retana is now recovering at home with his husband, Andrew Moss, also a former officer at DART:<\/p>\n

Moss was behind an effort<\/a> to get DART to add insurance benefits for same-sex<\/a> partners that began in 2012.<\/p>\n

Retana and Moss were married in 2008 in California. Moss […] left law enforcement in 2010 due to health problems.<\/p>\n

Retana and his husband reportedly do not want to be interviewed out of fear for their safety.<\/p>\n

Though Retana survived the shooting, 5 other police officers were not so lucky. In total, 11 officers were targeted and shot by the sniper who police have identified as Micah Xavier Johnson, a decorated veteran who had served in the U.S. Army Reserve.<\/p>\n
