A photo has surfaced from a Halloween party of a student at a Pennsylvania college dressed as former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick with someone else pointing a gun at his head. Officials at Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA are investigating the incident. In a message over the weekend, Vice President and Dean of Student Life Joyce Bylander called the costume "deeply offensive" and "distasteful" and referred to the actions of the students as "very poor judgment." She did however say it was free expression, but that the community should "answer speech with speech." Other members of the community have expressed concern that the message was a death threat and not free speech. The school is investigating the gun in the photo. Guns, real or fake, are prohibited on campus.

A New Jersey man is under arrest for stabbing his roommate while he was in the shower. It happened on Sunday morning in Burlington County. 34-year-old William Hines and his 54-year-old roommate had an argument. The roommate then went to take a shower. Hines entered the bathroom and stabbed him multiple times in the face, upper chest, hands and arms. The roommate is in critical condition at Cooper University Hospital. Hines fled the scene but turned himself in to Burlington Township police on Monday. He is charged with criminal attempted homicide, aggravated assault and related charges. He is being held at the Burlington County Jail.
