SALT LAKE CITY (AP) _ Police in Gilbert, Ariz., are
investigating a possible hate crime after two Mormon teenagers were
injured in an assault.

Police say the fight between four teen boys started after two of
them said they are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints. The attackers allegedly fired soft air guns at
the other boys.

The Mormon teens suffered facial injuries and one had a broken
collar bone.

Police arrested a 15-year-old boy and a 16-yuear-old boy on
suspicion of aggravated assault, disorderly conducted and underage
drinking. Officers say the pair both had swastika marks on their
wrists.
