SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Police are investigating a possible hate crime after a swastika was painted on a mural depicting a Jewish player for the Sacramento Kings. Police say they received a report of the backward swastika painted on a mural of Omri Casspi, the only NBA player born in Israel, in the midtown area about noon Wednesday. The incident comes just hours before the start of Rosh Hashanah, the observance of the Jewish new year.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
