Police responded to the home on 18 Wadsworth Street in Geneseo around 6 a.m. Sunday after receiving a report that some kind of incident had taken place.

The names of the dead are Kelsey Annese, 21,  senior at SUNY Geneseo from Webster, N.Y., area and a member of the university basketball team; Mathew Hutchinson, 24, from Vancouver, British Columbia, senior at SUNY Geneseo, the university’s hockey team member, and volunteer firefighter who lived in the area; Colin Kingston, 24, from Geneseo, former student of SUNY Geneseo, according to officer Jeffrey Szczesniak of the Geneseo Police Department.

No official information as to the cause of death or possible suspects was released.

No firearm was used but a knife was recovered at the scene, Szczesniak said during a press conference live-streamed by Democrat & Chronicle.

There’s “absolutely not” a reason to believe that the general public safety is in jeopardy at this time, Szczesniak said.
