Stabbed Woman Rescued From College Dorm Fire
Victim Listed In Critical Condition
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. -- A female student suffering from extensive burns is in critical condition after a dormitory fire at Western Kentucky University early Sunday.
The fire is being investigated as foul play, according to a spokesman for the Kentucky State Fire Marshal's office.
The young woman, whose name was not released, is suffering from stab wounds, and it appears that the fire was set deliberately, the spokesman said.
The student is being treated at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville, Tenn., -- which is about 60 miles south of Bowling Green.
The fire occurred shortly after 4:10 a.m. CDT on the second floor of Hugh Poland Hall. It was extinguished by the dormitory's sprinkler system.
About 50 of the 310 students were in the nine-story building at the time of the fire. The students have either left campus or have moved into other dormitories.
University spokesman Bob Skipper said he was aware that the victim had stab wounds, but did not know the cause of the wounds.
