Six died at the scene, while two others died in hospital. Two more were seriously wounded.Police spokesman Etienne Terblanche described the scene at the Sizzlers massage parlour and escort agency as "horrendous".South African police are investigating links to organised crime, gangs and drug dealing. But the Gay and Lesbian Alliance (GALA) said they feared yesterday morning's massacre in Cape Town's Sea Point district was a hate crime."We have been very concerned about threats issued by various fringe groups in society over recent months," said the director of the Lesbian and Gay Equality Project.One of the victims managed to escape to a nearby petrol station, bleeding profusely from his head wound, where he recounted the drama to an attendant before collapsing. He was in a stable condition in hospital last night.When police arrived on the scene at about 4am, they found six bodies and three men with horrendous wounds crawling around the house in agony. Two of the three died in hospital: the third was in critical condition last night.
The rest of the house was mostly untouched, although it appeared the killers searched for money or valuables.Apparently acting on information from the two injured survivors, who were also shot in the head, police were last night hunting for four white men in a white BMW.One of the attackers was said to have a tattoo with the name of a Johannesburg gang, "Fast Guns", on his arm. Fast Guns is believed to have links to a Cape Town gang known as the Americans, and is reported to have been brought in to carry out slayings in Cape Town in the past.

Four people were arrested on suspected drug charges, including the group's leader.Methamphetamine was found at the Gypsy Joker Motorcycle Club compound at West 19th Avenue and South Gum Street. Benton County Undersheriff Paul Hart said they needed so many officers as a "precautionary" step because the Gypsy Jokers are known to be connected to drugs and other criminal activities."It is an outlaw motorcycle gang with convicted felons who reside there," Hart said. "We gear up to meet that threat."Some stolen property and a couple of weapons also were seized, he said.

Timothy “Fuzzy” Timms, a 45-year-old member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle club, stood up Monday for his First Amendment right to freedom of expression. Timms, a resident of the San Diego community of South Park, refused to take off a black leather vest with the motorcycle club's “death's head” insignia when he reported for jury duty. He's a big burly man, 5 feet 8 inches, 250 pounds, with a full beard and auburn-colored, shoulder-length hair. At 7:45 a.m., Timms' stance got him booted from the San Diego Superior Court's Hall of Justice by sheriff's deputies, along with another Hells Angel who also refused to remove his insignia vest. Nine hours later, representatives of both the Superior Court and the sheriff's department apologized to Timms and club member Mick Rush for “misunderstanding” an order issued April 24 by Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Fraser. Rush also had been reporting for jury duty. “It all boils down to a misunderstanding of Judge Fraser...
