Houston Pacifica radio station targeted in drive-by shooting

A bullet pierced the window of KPFT, a Pacifica station in Houston, early Monday morning, Democracy Now reports. The bullet missed DJ Mary Thomas, who was hosting a zydeco music show at the time, by less than two feet. Station staff suspect that the shooting may have been more than just a violent objection to the play list: KPFT's transmitter was previously blown up twice by the Ku Klux Klan. Adding to their worry is the fact that the bullet found at the scene is typically used in AK-47 assault rifles. Police are investigating. Meanwhile, the station is soliciting donations to make repairs to its studio; for more information, click here.
