KEENE, N.H. — Parties at Keene State College spun out of control Saturday, as police in riot gear fired tear gas at hundreds of students throwing bottles and other objects, according to witnesses on the scene.

According to the Keene Fire Department, multiple people were transported to a nearby hospital.

Witnesses described the scene, largely on or around Wilcox Street, as chaotic, and far more extreme than anything they’d ever seen before.
