Ohio State University has suspended its Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter while police investigate a video that appears to show two men engulfed in flames as a crowd laughs and shouts.
Columbus police released a preliminary report Tuesday on the alleged hazing incident, CBS News reports. Police believe it happened Nov. 7 near the fraternity's chapter house, according to NTD. In a 911 call, a caller told dispatchers the fraternity had set its pledges on fire, CBS reports.
NBC News reports the university says the two men are receiving medical care; the severity of their injuries was not immediately clear.
Parents send their sons to college trusting they'll be safe. We're praying for the two young men and their families.
