...covered with saguaro cactus--his dream was to reach Phoenix--when he was spotted by two horsemen dressed in black.One of them pulled out a rifle and shot Palafox in the neck. The youth wrapped his shirt around the wound and crawled back to Mexico in 115[degree]F heat. "I thought I was going to die in the desert. There wasn't a single tree for shade," says Palafox. Once across the Mexican border, Palafox dragged himself another mile before reaching a farmhouse, where he got help. The two riders have yet to be found...

The police - Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's famous tough guys - were in a lounging and permissive mode, as if, in the face of the crowds and heat and politicized cultural assertion, they had decided not to get involved. When people reported the attacks to police in the park, the cops seemed indifferent and evasive. And the bystanders were no help either...
