Auburn Police Looking For Stabbing Suspect

Auburn and Alabama fans gathered for the Iron Bowl this past weekend, but an early pre-game party got ugly.
"A Friday night before a big home football game, many of the fraternities over there were having different parties with live entertainment or whatever. Anytime you have that, you have a large crowd attracted to those fraternities," said Capt. Tom Stofer, Auburn Police Department.
According to reports, an unidentified man shouted "Roll Tide" at Phi Kappa Tau fraternity students around 12:30 CST Saturday morning. A fight then broke out, with the man pulling out a knife and stabbing people.
"We had, I believe, seven patients come in from the incident at the university. We had three that were admitted into the hospital," said John Atkinson, East Alabama Medical Center.
Those injured are identified as David Atlee, 19; James Sanders, 21; Travis Sewell, 18; Ryan Penso, 22; Kyle Novicki, 18; Dustin Sheffield, 20 and Brian Gambina, 23.
One of those three still in the hospital is Gambina.
"He is in fair condition, that being Gambina. The other two declined to have their condition released," said Atkinson.
Auburn police say the victims should all be okay, and they're close to catching the stabber.
"We believe at this point we've identified the suspect, and warrants are pending in the case. We anticipate making an arrest shortly in the case," said Stofer.
Captain Stofer said the neighborhood around the frat houses has a history of some violence in the past, but not recently. If you have any more information concerning this stabbing, you are asked to call the Auburn Police Department at (334)501-3140.
