African-American Woman Left in Critical Condition After Brutal Louisiana Attack 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
An African-American woman in Louisiana has been brutally attacked and
left with serious injuries in an apparent hate crime. Twenty-year-old
Sharmeka Moffitt reportedly told police she was set on fire by three men
who wrote the initials KKK and a racial slur on her car. She suffered
burns on more than half her body and is now in critical condition. No
arrests have been made in the case.
