perezhilton.com:

A Black man was shot seven times in what police are investigating as a possible hate crime. Bobby Gayle, a cement mason, had been finishing up some work Friday night with a friend in Stockton, California when the driver of a pick-up truck almost ran over them — his brother, Marlon Gayle, explained to KCRA.

When the 45-year-old told the driver to slow down, the person got out of the vehicle, hurled racial epithets, and started firing shots towards him: Related: Olympic Runner Agnes Tirop Found Stabbed To Death At 25 Disgusting.

Even though he was injured from the shooting, Bobby had managed to not only call 911 but reach out to his brother in order to ask for prayers.
