A stained-glass window at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of New Orleans was partially shattered by a brick during worship service Sunday morning (March 12), according to several members of the church.
The incident happened less than 48 hours after First Unitarian hosted a well-attended and well-publicized town hall meeting on violence against transgender people in the New Orleans area.
Rev. Paul Beedle, the minister of First Unitarian, said no one was injured by the brick or the broken glass. A congregant discovered the shattered window while walking in the church's Memorial Hall as service was underway, he said.

The town hall meeting was organized after two black transgender women were murdered in New Orleans less than two weeks ago. Chyna Gibson, 31, was shot and killed Feb. 25 on Downman Road in New Orleans East. Two days later, Ciara McElveen, 25, was fatally stabbed on Columbus Street near Claiborne Avenue in the 7th Ward.
