2 People Wounded in Apparent Stabbing at Tufts University Frat House
The two victims were hospitalized, and police were investigating.
— -- Two people were apparently stabbed this morning at a fraternity house on the main campus of Tufts University, outside Boston, the university said. Tufts asked people on the campus to shelter in place as police searched for “a suspect of a serious crime” there.
The two people were hospitalized, and police were investigating, Tufts University spokeswoman Kim Thurler told ABC News.
Tufts said the two people were not affiliated with the university, and that the incident “appears to be non-random.” The university rescinded its shelter-in-place request just before 8 a.m. ET, several hours after sending out an initial alert, but said there would “continue to be enhanced police presence on campus.”
The stabbing occurred at the Delta Tau Delta house on Professors Row, a street that bisects the campus in Medford and Somerville, Massachusetts, and is home to several fraternity and sorority houses, the university said.
Tufts’ president, Anthony Monaco, deferred questions to Thurler, as did the Tufts University Police Department.
Most students were not on campus this weekend because the spring semester had ended and commencement had already taken place.
The university has been posting updates on its Twitter feed.
