DA gives students involved in hazing of lacrosse players 48 hours to surrender or face kidnapping charges

Those involved in an apparent hazing scheme in upstate New York have been given a few days to turn themselves in or face kidnapping charges for the incident, which authorities say targeted younger members of the Westhill High School boys lacrosse team. 

Eleven students who allegedly played a part in the event were given 48 hours to surrender, Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick said Tuesday at a news conference. Fitzpatrick told CBS News the deadline for the perpetrators to turn themselves in will be "close of business Thursday."

"This is criminal activity, and this is hazing on steroids," Fitzpatrick said at the news conference, noting that it "could have resulted in such tragedy."
