Rockville Police Investigate Stabbings

ROCKVILLE, Md., January 16, 2011 - Rockville City Police are investigating
an incident
involving the stabbings of five individuals early Sunday morning at the
Rockville
Sportsplex.

Rockville City and Montgomery County police officers responded at 12:50 a.m.
Sunday,
Jan. 16, to a call for a disturbance at the Rockville Sportsplex, located at
60 
Southlawn Lane. While on route to the call, it was updated to alert officers
that
there were multiple stabbings.

A Montgomery County Police officer stopped a vehicle attempting to leave the
complex
parking lot in front of the main entrance. The five occupants of the
vehicle, as

with non-life threatening injuries.

The men in the vehicle were uncooperative with police and refused to give
their
