Tires squealed on Residential Boulevard at 2:53 a.m. Saturday Sept. 6 as a black Jeep Cherokee sped from the scene of an apparent hit and run. The speeding vehicle hit seniors Michael Rennie, a liberal arts major, and Sean Gracey, a history major, after a verbal altercation caused the drivers to flee. "Everything was fine, everything was okay, and then somebody said something in the crowd," Rennie said. He went on to say that he and a few of his friends attempted to talk to the three people in the car. "Apparently there were a few words exchanged, and he [the driver) tried to run somebody down," Charlie Schaffner, the director of public safety, said. According to the Radnor incident report, Rennie heard the occupants of the three vehicles involved say, "Let's fight." "Then I proceeded to go out into the street and

I was talking to my friend," Rennie said. "Someone had said something to that kid [in the car) about the police coming. Then that kid sped off towards us in the street. He kind of slowed down but then he accelerated again." Bystanders watched as Rennie was hit by the S.U.V.,injuring his left knee and running over his left foot. Gracey incurred an injury to his right arm. Neither victim accepted medical treatment, according to the police incident report. Eddie Johns, a Villanova University student, recalls a group of 15 to 20 Cabrini students surrounding the car, throwing beer bottles and being generally belligerent. The black Jeep pulled away,hitting Rennie and Gracey in the process. The driver then turned around in the apartment parking lot, then sped off down Residential Boulevard toward New Residence Hall. Beer bottles and debris was hurled at the car as it drove away. Johns' car, a silver Mitsubishi Eclipse, incurred a fist-sized dent to the passenger side rear wheel well. "I saw the S.U.V.speed off at about 60 miles per hour down Residential Boulevard," Matt
Junior Ryan Norris touches the sling on his right arm gingerly with his mangled left hand. He slips the sling off and reveals the scrapes and bruises that cover his skin. "The hospital told me that my muscles are very bruised," Norris, an English/communications major, said. "I was using my arm to get away while
he was standing on it. He just kept stomping on it." Norris, a resident assistant in Xavier Hall and the president of the junior class, was on a leisurely stroll at dusk on Sunday evening, Sept. 7, when he was mugged minutes from Cabrini's Eagle Road entrance.

"One of my people just happened to be going by, and he saw the whole thing," Schaffner said. "Cabrini's public safety was there the whole time," Johns said, "and they did nothing." The Public Safety officer "stopped because there were so many people in the road," Schaffuer said. Schaffner went on to speculate that the jeep began to back up when the driver saw the Public Safety Jeep. "He may have panicked because he thought we were there to stop in and then the jeep took off. My guy couldn't get out of there because there were so many people there." "I thought Public Safety and Radnor police did everything they could while they were here. I don't know how much further they're going to go in it. As far as I'm concerned with how they handled it, l think they handled it very well," Rennie said.
