This is just unbelievable:

Two Loyola University students attending classes at Boston College after their school was shut down by Hurricane Katrina were stabbed on a Boston street early Wednesday morning. Joseph Vairo, 19, was in serious condition at a hospital after being stabbed twice, Boston College spokesman Jack Dunn said. An unidentified 20-year-old was treated and released.

The students _ among 150 from Loyola and Tulane University who are temporarily attending Boston College _ got into an argument with five men at 1:30 a.m. outside a store, said Officer Mike McCarthy, a Boston police spokesman. They walked away, but were attacked moments later, McCarthy and Dunn said. McCarthy said there have been no arrests, and that witnesses were being interviewed.

"It's clear that they were the victims here," Dunn said.
