From Times Staff Reports
Three males were arrested Tuesday in connection with an alleged hate-crime attack on six gay men that left one in critical condition with a battered skull.
James Allen Carroll, 24, and 16- and 17-year-olds whose names were not released because they are minors were arrested on attempted murder and hate-crime charges. The victims were attacked Saturday night with a baseball bat and a knife after the city’s annual gay pride parade.
Mayor Jerry Sanders called the attackers “animals [who] wanted to push these men back into the closet.”
