Reports: Domestic violence incident claims the life of 5-year-old

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) – Authorities say a 5-year-old has died and his parents were injured in a domestic violence incident at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Multiple media outlets report the violence occurred shortly after midnight Sunday in a single-family residence at the Baity Hill family housing community.

The UNC website describes Baity Hill as an apartment complex that houses graduate students and student families. Authorities said a knife was used as the weapon in the violence, which also involved the child’s parents.

They were taken to a hospital for treatment. Fall semester classes are scheduled to begin Tuesday at the university.
