Three Morgan State University football players stabbed on campus



BALTIMORE, Maryland -- Three Morgan State University football players were stabbed on campus Tuesday afternoon, one of whom was seriously injured, according to police and university officials.

The incident happened outside a cafeteria around 2:05 p.m. after a suspect was observed "wildly swinging" a knife outside the facility, according to Clint Coleman, a university spokesman. The crime scene encompassed an area including residence halls and a practice football field.

A police spokesman said one victim was stabbed in the chest and taken to a hospital in very serious condition. Two other people were also injured.

Coleman later said none of the victims' injuries were believed to be life-threatening.

Police Commissioner Anthony W. Batts, who was on the scene, said the victims were campus football players. According to the school athletic department's web page, Tuesday was the first day of spring practices for the football team.
