" Police interviewed several witnesses today to the stabbing death of the UConn football player still no arrests."

" Twenty year old Jasper Howard was stabbed outside dance on campus just hours after the team to win over Louisville. Anything and by renowned joins us live from harper bureau with the latest Brian."

" While Karen and the latest on this so far is the medical examiner saying that -- Jasper Howard died of a single stab wound. To the abdomen university officials say this attack started as an altercation between two groups of people some of whom are not students. The University of Connecticut campus in stores is in shock following the stabbing death of twenty year old Jasper Howard. He was one of the stars of the football team and the key to Saturday's win over Louisville. His coach says hours after that win he laid bleeding in one of his teammates arms while another called for help. He was stabbed outside a dance on campus that to 300 people to the student union you can officials say the altercation that started it all included some people who are not students here. There were a lot of people around us and certainly. This potential for quite a few people to a witness for us. We're trying to work out right now the state police are also involved in the investigation on campus the mood is somber it's."

" Very -- and few classes already. It was pretty slow pace does -- with some of athletes and pages asking each other how they're doing and how they are doing this kind of like quiet. Rages. About just leave that could just gonna classes. Satellite is not usual."

" Officials say this was not a random act that it was a fight that got out of control that at least allows the students to feel secure on their campus. Does it make you think it all about security. Not really enough right now I don't think anyone really scared for their safety it was sort of they were wasn't young random attacks and he's going around like stabbing people so no one's really. As far as I know scares the Gasquet did it happen like -- thinking that that happened to -- them but safety doesn't really. We come -- there. I'm really worried about safety is nothing like that really happened in the past so it's kind of like the one time deal. The tragic news was felt in the NFL as well knowing the patriots defensive back Darius Butler a former teammate of power to UConn learned about the murder on Sunday."

" Most definitely the -- in a couple of and -- broad -- well that's -- defended the and your clothes and -- yeah constantly isn't. -- And it's not gonna live this terrible blow it. Oh Edison's -- political move."

" Now there has been an arrest in connection with the altercation not with the stabbing 21 year old Johnny -- of Hartford was arraigned this morning on charges of giving it a fake name to police officers. And breach of peace again that stems from the fight outside the dance. His lawyer said in court that -- told him that he didn't even know there had been stabbed and when police approached him. He's being held now on 100000. Dollars spot --"

" any word on a memorial service for Jasper Howard."

" Yeah there's nothing official yet I understand that UConn football coach Randy gets -- picked up the family how Jasper Howard family at the airport a little while ago and that there on their way to campus. University officials wanna get some input from them on what they might wanna do before they plan anything official there's talk of them doing something before the football game coming up on Saturday. All right thank you Brian."
