Ohio State University has placed the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity on interim suspension while the college investigates an online video showing two people set on fire, The Hill reported. The Guardian reported that the university and local police are both conducting investigations into the fraternity, which has been placed on interim suspension.
According to The Hill, the video was posted on X and appears to show one individual whose pants were on fire lunging at a second person, catching that person on fire as well. The available summary of The Hill's report does not describe the rest of the video.
The Guardian, which published a report credited to the Associated Press, said a video shared on social media appears to show two panicked men engulfed in flames. It said one individual had sweatpants on fire before lunging at another person. The two outlets differ in some details: The Hill described the clothing as pants and the platform as X, while The Guardian specified sweatpants, cited social media generally, and described both people as men, where The Hill used the word individuals.
Neither report, as summarized here, says how the fire began, who the two people are, whether either was injured, or what the investigations have found. The Hill described the suspension as interim, and The Guardian described it as temporary. Neither summary gives its length or any conditions attached to it.
The Hill's report was written by Lexi Lonas Cochran, and The Guardian's report was credited to the Associated Press. Both were published Monday. No further details are available in the material provided for this story.
