DALLAS —
A woman died after being shot by a security guard at a Dallas strip club, police said. The club said the woman had hit the guard with her car prior to the shooting.
Dallas Police said the shooting happened just after 5 a.m. Saturday at the XTC Cabaret Dallas club located on North Stemmons Freeway.
Police said a 26-year-old female security officer shot the victim, identified as Shalonda Anderson, 32. Anderson was taken to a local hospital where she died from her injuries.

According to police, a second security officer, a 30-year-old male, is also believed to have shot into the victim’s vehicle.
In a statement released Sunday afternoon, the club said a woman, identified by police as Anderson, had driven her vehicle into a group of security guards. One security guard, identified by police only as a 26-year-old woman, was pinned between the car and another vehicle. The club said the guard then shot the driver “before the driver could seriously injure or kill others.”
“We would like to express our deepest condolences to the families involved. Club management has reached out to the family of the individual who died and offered to pay for her funeral,” said the club in a statement.
The security guard has “multiple broken bones” and is expected to undergo surgery, XTC said.
Anderson’s family told WFAA they don’t believe XTC’s side of the story. Her family and friends stood outside the business on Sunday, calling for it to shut down.
“[Shalonda] had a good heart, everyone came to her house every day,” Anderson’s mother, Benita Lofton, said.
Lofton said Anderson was the mother to three children.
“She just wanted the best for her kids, that’s all she talked about,” Lofton said.
“For my grandbaby to come up to me and ask me, ‘Granny is my mom in the sky?’ That took a lot out of me,” she added.
According to Anderson’s family, XTC’s owner offered to pay for the 32-year-old’s funeral.
An online fundraising campaign was set up to help Anderson’s family.
The Dallas County District Attorney’s Public Integrity Unit will conduct an independent investigation, police said.
