Two men were shot; two police cars, a fire department car and a motorcycle were burned, and a young girl was run down by a police horse. Authorities say how the disturbance at Branch Brook Park began, but some police reports indicated the anger was set off by officers making gambling arrests at the annual event sponsored by Focus, a Hispanic group. Witnesses said, however, that the violence broke out late Sunday afternoon after a girl was trampled by a horse ridden into a crowd by a mounted policeman. A police cruiser sent to retrieve two mounted officers from the crowd stalled and was set afire after it was abandoned, police said. They said firemen responding to the blaze retreated from a barrage of missiles thrown by the mob.
