Eleven high school lacrosse players have turned themselves in and face kidnapping charges after allegedly binding up a younger player at gunpoint and putting him in the trunk of a car.
Fitzpatrick addressed the media Tuesday regarding a situation involving the student athletes last week. Peter D'Abrosca joined Fox News Digital in 2025 after four years as a politics reporter at The Tennessee Star.
He grew up in Rhode Island and is a graduate of Elon University.
"Thursday, April 24th of this year during the evening hours, some students from Westhill, who, obviously, because of their age I will not name, decided that they were going to haze or play some sort of prank on some of the younger members of the lacrosse team," Fitzpatrick said. "There were at least five potential victims that the sheriff's victim has identified." Follow Peter on X at @pmd_reports. Send story tips to peter.dabrosca@fox.com.
