A chemical agent -- possibly mace -- was also found at the scene, according to a police source who requested anonymity. The incident occurred around 8 p.m. near the steps leading to the back door of the SAE house at 3908 Spruce Street. Members of the fraternity said they were told by police not to exit their house by the back door but were not aware of what had happened. -- Laura McClure
