FIVE STABBED AT KINGS DOMINION

Five men were stabbed during a fight Easter Sunday at Paramount Kings Dominion, sending all five to a hospital while police searched for suspects.

The fight broke out shortly after 3 p.m. outside the Johnny's Burgers restaurant in the Candy Apple Grove section of the park, said park spokeswoman Betsy Reardon. All five, described as young male adults, she said.

Four were taken by ambulance to the Medical College of Virginia Hospitals in Richmond; the fifth was flown to MCV by helicopter.

Three of the victims were in surgery Sunday evening, said hospital spokesman Bill Lueck, and two were being evaluated.

Hanover County Sheriff's Department Capt. J.W. Robertson said officers had descriptions of the suspects.
