SPOKANE — A Washington State University student was taken to the hospital in critical condition after falling from the third-story fire escape of a fraternity house Saturday night.

Pullman Police spokesman Cmdr. Chris Tennant said police were called to the Sigma Phi Epsilon house at 610 N.E. Colorado St. just after 10 p.m. and found a 20-year-old man with obvious head injuries who had fallen to the ground.

The student was taken to Pullman Regional Hospital in critical condition, then transported to a hospital in Spokane.

Tennant did not have an update on his condition Monday morning. Police are not releasing the student’s name because there is no criminal investigation, but said he was from Poulsbo, Washington.

Tennant said the report did not mention whether the house was holding a party Saturday night, but alcohol was involved in the incident.
