2年間ギブアップしなくてよかった.
2年間ホームレスシェルター暮らしが続いてストレスのオンパレードでしたけど耐えてよかった.

素敵なアパートメントに暮らせてよかった.

今週ヒスパニックのTransgender girlのアパートメントが火事になり残念ながら彼女が亡くなってしまいました.ヘイトクライムによる放火殺人の可能性があり悲しいしショックを受けました.

わたしは彼女には会ったことがないはず(ロサンゼルス来てから色々な方々と会っているので覚えていないだけかも)ですが友達の友達だと昨夜知りました.

彼女が以前住んでいたアパートメントでもスプレーをドアにふきかれたりされていたと話がありました.

とにかくひどいですしわたしも今アパートメントにて一人暮らしですから気をつけないといけないです.

Transgender woman's house fire death in Pico-Union under investigation

PICO-UNION, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A transgender woman was killed in what authorities are calling a suspicious Pico-Union area house explosion, and investigators are trying to figure out if it was an accident or a murder.

ABC7 was led up the stairs to the apartment where flames broke out early Wednesday morning.

The back door is boarded up, but Oscar Manzano said the door was open when he tried waking everyone up to get them outside.

"We came here telling the people to get out 'cause they were still inside. I told them, 'get out,'" he recalled.

But Viccky Gutierrez and her small dog were still in her upstairs apartment.

"My wife said, 'don't go, it's about to explode,' and then I was making a few steps and that just exploded," Manzano added.

Manzano lives next door, along South New Hampshire Avenue, with his young family and said he didn't know Gutierrez very well. He said he did know that she had experienced problems in the neighborhood before her death, adding that someone spray-painted slurs on the front of her former apartment because she was transgender.

A friend of the victim said she grew up with Gutierrez in Honduras.

Speaking only Spanish, she told ABC7 her friend had been in the U.S. for three years and was married to a man who worked in the Bay Area and traveled back and forth.

Placed near more than a dozen lit candles was a handmade sign. In Spanish, a friend gave thanks for Gutierrez' friendship, saying she will be remembered forever.

Friends and family are expected to gather Friday at 7 p.m. in front of the apartment complex. They said they hope to find out more answers about her dog, which went missing after the fire.

The Los Angeles Fire Department determined the fire to be suspicious, and LAPD West Bureau Homicide investigators were looking into the death.

ノースハリウッドで発砲事件が起きて臨場してました.バス待っていたらすぐ側のストアで銃声が聞こえて数分でLAFDやLAPDのオフサーが沢山来てました.周囲の人たちは驚いた様子はなかったです.発砲はいつものことです.

わたしは初めて銃声を聞きましたけど全然怖くなかったです.いつもニュースで観てるのとアメリカの生活が慣れてます.

ただ「LAはジャングル」とセラピストさんから聞いてたのでそれを実感しました.

I'm very lucky Girl.
