With few details emerging from Saturday's triple stabbing in Springfield's Forest Park neighborhood, there's a chance no one will be held criminally responsible in the case.
SPRINGFIELD -- It all boils down to helping: If city police don't get help, they can't solve crimes.
That was the simple message imparted Sunday by Springfield Police Capt. Cheryl C. Clapprood, suggesting the investigation into Saturday's triple stabbing at a Forest Park house party could turn cold if victims and witnesses don't start talking.
"They're not really cooperating with us," Clapprood said Sunday of the victims, two of whom were treated at city hospitals and one of whom was treated at the scene.
Multiple police units responded to 45 Leete St. around 2:40 a.m. Saturday for a report of three male stabbing victims, whose names and ages haven't been released. None of the injuries are considered life-threatening, police have said.
"It looks like a house party that went bad," Clapprood said.
Authorities are asking anyone with information about this incident to contact the Springfield Police Detective Bureau at (413) 787-6355.
