In what police are calling a hate crime, authorities in Anchorage, Alaska, are in possession of a videotape showing three teenagers singling out Alaska Natives and attacking them with a paintball gun.

The teens haven't yet been charged because police say they are trying to build a case against them. The teens were located after a victim contacted police and gave them the license plate number of the car the teens were using.

The information led police to the home of one where a paintball gun was confiscated. The search led to a second home where the videotape was discovered.
